Gobert at 14
Seems about right. Glad that he gets the respect he deserves
Gobert at 14
Horford also has tremendous value on offense... 40% plus three point shooter... fantastic screen setter... great passer. He has low volume and can't get a shot for himself unless it is on a post up.
This list is about one year production too... so they may have accounted for Kyrie missing some games.
If the list is about one year production than why are Irving and Hayward even ranked? They both missed last year with injuries. I don't get Hayward at all, he got hurt in the first game and he is ranked this high. Seems like bias media giving Hayward credit for moving to Boston.
Yes, neither of them play with Gobert. Mitchell had an ideal situation any legitimate 20+ ppg scorer would thrive in.
Without Mitchell, I’m not sure the jazz advance past OKC, I think the same is true for Gobert, but Mitchell put the team on his back a few times like any top star does, and was other worldly in that series, felt like his coming out as a star among stars.
Gobert not being top 10 is more egregious than Mitchell being 34 IMO.Seems about right. Glad that he gets the respect he deserves
But can a player with virtually zero offensive game be ranked as top 10? I mean his impact on the game is huge but lets not forget he got outplayed by Capela in Houston series. I think for Rudy to crack top 10 he needs to have at least reliable mid range jumper and a hook shot.Gobert not being top 10 is more egregious than Mitchell being 34 IMO.

Whatever.He didnt get outplayed by Capela....
He does not need a midrange jumper at all.
He has been in the top ratings for offensive efficiency the past few season, and defensive. Here is a good article with a decent argument for Rudy to be a top 10 player. This is using 2016-2017 stats but overall his stats this last year were not that far off of these.But can a player with virtually zero offensive game be ranked as top 10?

NBA Fandom can be so strange. Does any other sport have the problem of fans vastly under rating players simply because they don't understand the game they are watching?Some fool argued with Tony Jones on twitter over Gobert. Basically has him as like the 7th best center at best. Called him completely irrelevant on offense and said that he’s only a shot blocking big who can dunk. And that the NBA has tons of those lmfao.

He should also add a three-pointer off-the-bounce to his toolkit, and why not a sick crossover? How about a Harden step-back 3? Sky is the limit, yo.
