He's surprisingly quick off his feet. I loved he sequence where he was rebounding in traffic, tipped the ball to himself off he board and then dunked it. It shows he has worlds of confidence as a rebounder.

One thing's pretty clear: Gobert will be in the rotation, probably right away. At least over Evans--far, far, far, far more interesting prospect.
I think the quickness aspect should not be underestimated for a guy this big. He is almost as tall as Mark Eaton, but would run circles around the great redwood tree that is Mark Eaton. His energy is exciting.
He's taller than Eaton. He is 20 KG's lighter.
Eaton was 7-4 so no Gobert is not taller. His standing reach is probably better though and he move better than Eaton from my fuzzy memory.
I can't wait to add Burke, Neto, Wiggins, and Harrison to this line up! Holy cow
I think he could be our best finisher around the rim. We saw Kanter get a board, wide open, bring the ball down, and then end up getting stuffed.
Favors and Kanter have moves, and finishing ability, but Gobert may develop into our best put back, dunk above the rim player. Still a long way to go.
This could end so many ways. Favors could still end up taking that title. That's the fun of watching this team grow. So many great questions to answer
