Will he be better than the 2012-2014 Roy Hibbert? Remember that's an allstar player right there.
Rudy Gobert vs Roy Hibbert

Yeah because I think Gobert can do the off-the-statsheet things Hibbert does but do a little more individual stuff (rebound out of area, more weakside blockss, and offensive rebounds). He will probably never be as good of a post defender as Hibbert is though just because he lacks the mass.

I said yes because I'm admittedly a Jazz homer.

The real question is Gobert Vs. Chuck Norris... it gets real bloody but Gobert comes out on top.

Hibbert praised Gobert in the post-game interview btw.
Hibbert works incredibly hard. He is extremely nonathletic and has asthma. He has come a long way since being in the league, kind of retarded to hate on his work ethic.

As far as the question is concerned would anyone be surprised if Gobert was a top 5 center within two years? His maturation is like nothing I've seen before from a Center. He's like the monster in Alien - gone from a little snot to a ****ing killing machine right before our eyes. Pretty soon he'll be Yaphet Kotto'ing opposing 5's on a nightly basis

Hibbert destroyed Gobert. Why? Because he's a player who doesn't need to scout Gobert (he is tall).
When the league catches on and starts scouting Gobert they will find a way to pick at his many defensive weaknesses just like Malone did against length.
