I remember telling my friend (a big Laker fan) to watch out for Utah because they had just drafted a relatively unknown European center who was going to be a beast in a few years. Well, I was wrong about Fesenko, but Lindsey sure hit it big with Gobert. Second year in the league and he's holding his own against the best centers in the game. Just imagine how good he's going to be 3,5,7 years from now!
It's difficult to like anyone more than Stockton, Malone or even Hornacek, but Gobert could be right up there. Not only because of his play, but because he's completely changed the direction of the franchise. With Kanter we were just hoping to be good enough on defense. Now we're elite. And he's changed the mindset of his teammates; they feed off his intensity.
