Fun Gobert Stats...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_...ociation_players_with_most_rebounds_in_a_game

Yeah absolutely no way he has any kind of record for this. Wilt and Russel both had multiple seasons averages over 30 rebound per game. Wilt pulled down 55 in one game alone. I guarantee if you looked at the box scores that for those guy in those seasons any 10 game stretch you choose to look at would be nearly double what Rudy has done in his best stretch of the season.
 
Updated the OP. Steady albeit small decline in average points over now 13 games. Rebounds staying relatively even at just over 15. Also dropping a bit on blocks. Could that be improved scouting by other teams? Wall sure seemed to have it figured out last night.
 
The decline in blocks for Rudy can sorta reminds me of how Opposing QBs don't even bother throwing to his receivers if Richard Sherman is anywhere in the vicinity. Rudy is simply not getting as many opportunities for blocks because nobody dares going in the paint as much.

I'm sure some site has data on how many shots opponents take in the paint. I'll see what I can dig up.
 
For the season, Jazz opponents have attempted 42% of their FGs in the paint, 33% were 2s outside of the paint, and 25% were 3s.

Over the last 10 games, the distribution is as follows: 40% of FGAs in the paint, 34% of FGAs 2s out of the paint, 26% of FGAs 3s.
Over the past 5 games: 38% of FGAs in the paint, 36% of FGAs 2s out of the paint, 26% of FGAs 3s.

So the trend is that opponents are taking less FGAs near the basket of late.

Kevin Pelton was saying in a podcast that the next thing for NBA coaches to figure out was how to force teams to take a higher percentage of mid range shots. The Jazz are figuring this out. It's awesome that the inside shots are going way down, because those are the best of the "smart shots" with threes being next. If the Jazz can keep 3pa around league average, but inside shots below average, that means teams will always play below average offensively against them. Awesome.
 
In my completely humble and rather premature opinion, Gobert could be a generational player. I don't say that lightly.

Updated OP. Little slump that could be his ankle or just a couple off games. Back to full form last night.

Next thing ? The entire Thibodeau defensive system in Boston and then Chicago is built on giving the opposing team long 2s but no 3s nor paint.. nothing new really.

Heck, I seem to remember reading a piece about that being the Rockets' scheme when the Jazz met them in the playoffs during the D-Will/Boozer era.
