Fun Gobert Stats...

[LogGrad98]

Updated OP. He is a rebound black hole. Nothing, not even light, can escape a black hole. His rebounding is golden-era good. Crazy.

Rudy has 3 games this season with 20 or more rebounds. Carlos Boozer was the last player to have 3 games with 20 or more rebounds in a season back in 2009-10, and the last of his 3 was actually a playoff game. The last Jazz man to get 3 games with 20 or more rebounds in the regular season was the Mailman way back in 1995-96.

I could only search back through 85-86 in basketball-reference, but from that season on no Jazz player has had 4 games with 20 or more rebounds in a season. Rudy has a great chance to do that.

Not a Gobert stat, but team stats with Gobert starting post AS break:

Are those good stats? LOL The Gobert Era is off to a great start.

Shouldn't the Jazz be better than #1?

#1 works for me. I like a parade.

Rudy leads the league in causing opposing players to decide at the last second to not to shoot at the rim. Wall's not even considering it.

 

[nightmare3983]

Does Rudy lead the league in salutes? Does any other player do that?

John Wall does, but he won't be this game

Heard last night on the radio that Rudy has an NBA record for most rebounds in a 10 game stretch. More than Wilt, Kareem , anyone.

I'm a tad skeptical of this. But I tweeted to Elias Sports Bureau asking if it is true.

That is wrong. Rudy has 159 rebounds in the last 10 games. Wilt Chaimberlain had 278 rebounds in the first 10 games of the 1961-62 season (and averaged 25.7 rebounds/game for the entire season).

That is insane! Did everyone else on the floor just not realize that you are supposed to rebound the ball? I don't think a 20 rpg season is even close to possible in todays game.

Different game. He is the reason that you can't stand in the lane all the time on offense. He was bigger, taller and more athletic than most of the people he played against back then. Impressive, Hell yes. Could he do that in today's game, I doubt it.

good work. The radio guys, and I, stand corrected.

Also no 3 point shot and long rebound.

Also no 3 point shot and long rebound.

Biggest difference though is that more shots were hoisted and FG% was terrible. Bottom line - just a lot more missed shots.

 

[akirac73]

To put Wilt's insane stats into perspective: on 12/8/61, Wilt scored 78 points and had 43 rebounds. The other night the ENTIRE Charlotte team only scored 66 pts and had 36 rebounds. Crazy...

You are right, but most mid-range shots are horrible even today. Way fewer 3-Point range specialists there until the line got put in. It would be interesting to see FG% of mid-range to mid-range from that 70s era to today. I'm too lazy to look it up.
