OG should win defensive player of the year.... and it's not close when you look at his statsBen Simmons shut down Donovan tonight. OG Anunoby shut him down the other night when they lost to Toronto.
Unfortunately he seems like a negative impact player for them. Its not by his own performance, its just that Ant and DLo somehow cannot compute how to play with him.Rudy is getting destroyed around the league after their last game. He got benched in the 4th, lead the team in negative plus/minus, and got out played by 3rd or 4th string backup center from the Heat.
Yikes.

Hopefully the Wolves trade Gobert ASAP so he can play for a competent team.

Look at the tweet right before that too lol.
this was always mine and others criticism of Gobert. Sure, he's a great player. But everything you do has to be built around him. And in the modern NBA that puts you at a serious disadvantage, especially against the better teams.What it does is prove that Snyder planned the Jazz game plan around Gobert. It was to maximize his strengths and hide his weaknesses. We are now seeing you can’t just throw him onto a team and expect greatness. It has to be planned and executed.
If you dont have the pieces in place it's definitely difficult. That being said, I think generally what teams are looking to add are what is needed for Gobert to succeed. Dont think the pieces that fit best around Gobert are all that rare, but they are sought out so if you dont have the assets to get them because you overpaid for Gobert, it puts you in a bad spot.this was always mine and others criticism of Gobert.

That's one thing I really hate about Rudy. 7 years and well payed and didn't put enough work to develop his offensive skills. Now he's left behind.I love Rudy but it was really sad to see him try and catch a bounce pass, dribble almost at all, or even, try 90% of anything on offense outside of a putback/lob.

AS much as i love rudy, i can only agree about this. some people here say how good Snyder use Gobert. I'm not totally agree. Good coach develop their players. Rudy staying 7 years here and unable to develop a 5-15 ft range shoot is a big failure. Specially in modern NBA. I do think Rudy will slide slowly until he ended his career. Pretty sad.That's one thing I really hate about Rudy. 7 years and well payed and didn't put enough work to develop his offensive skills. Now he's left behind.
