My point is that Gobert doesn't deserve that kind of speculation based solely on his physical profile and work ethic; he needs to demonstrate more ON THE COURT before I'm willing to guess how he'll perform vis-a-vis Kanter and Favors.
If he can get stronger on the block (on both ends of the court) so he wins positional battles, and develops a couple of offensive moves, then he can be fully legit. Truth is, though, he's kind of a long ways off on both of these.
I'm a fan, though. For sure. Tremendous value at #27. I've said elsewhere he'll be the steal of the draft.... I just think that could take a while longer than I was thinking.
