That might have been the worst defensive possession ever by Gobert.
Gobert never even gets to touch the ball.

Rudy finished with 8 and 6 in 13 minutes. Tied for 3rd on the team in scoring and led in rebounds.

Why do people keep looking at the 7'3" like he needs to be protecting the perimeter? Is it a European thing? Fortunately not a lot of centers off the bench that are going to draw him outside and remain a threat to drive. Those guys have to deal with Gobert. . .
It is because there are quite a few 'bigs' in Europe who can stretch the floor and of course, the other thing that happen is switches on pnr or help defense where the big gets stuck on a wing/guard.

There are very few 7 footers that are going to be effective on the perimeter. If you keep getting your 7 footer out on the edge defending a wing, you have been outcoached.

Bigs in the NBA hedge against good shooter as well. 90% of the teams have guards who are automatic with 3s off the dribble. If you don't show on the PnR, you allow a 40% 3 pointer. Coincidentally a lot of guards are shaky with their ballhandling and tend to pick it up against hedges and double teams. It's to disrupt the offense.
Of course. Do you think in club competitions the coach points it out separately in different languages?
The American coach btw can speak German fluently, since he was living in Germany for over 20 years, he just prefers English coaching as he's more used to it. Even if it was German coaching, like half the stuff would be English anyways due to lack of translation for most terminologies.
So it's English.
Pleiss finished with 16 pts(8/12 FG), 6rbs, 1 ast, 2 stl in 25 minutes of play, playing against Gortat. In some situations Gortat was quicker than Pleiss and he had trouble containing him, but overall (especially offensively) he held his own against a legit NBA starting big.

Not surprising. In my travels I found that most Europeans - at least the ones under 40 - speak multiple languages, with English being at least one of them. It is REQUIRED in school, not a option like in the U.S. where you can take Spanish, French or some other language as an elective.

Good news. Pleiss won't be playing against starters so if he can hold his own against some of them, then he could/should be a net + against backup centers.

It'll be interesting to see what Q and Co. can do to his defense. I hope they can at least make him AWARE (which would give him a leg up on Kanter). Awareness + Favors/Gobert covering for you + playing against backups = a good place for him to start.

It's easy to dismiss these games as meaningless or weak competition or whatever, but it's not as if guys like Dirk and Toney Parker are lighting everybody up. This is legit competition and Pleiss is playing as well as anybody. Now, I don't expect him to come in and be a star based on these games, but I'm drinking the kool-aid on him as a guy who can be an effective and impactful rotation big in the NBA right away.
