https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q8FUAMRso6A Rudy Gobert is overpaid, and he never really improved his offensive game. Almost all of the players are putting up video game stats. He need to step up offensively now that Karl Anthony Towns is out with an injury. He only scored 9 points vs. Memphis Grizzlies.

The star big man told ESPN's Tim MacMahon on Sunday morning that he has agreed to a five-year, $205 million contract extension. The megadeal is the biggest contract for a center in NBA history, and it also makes Gobert the latest player to have a deal worth more than Steph Curry's.
Damn. So Gobert is the highest paid center in NBA History???

Gobert doesn't need to score. He needs to be a threat at the rim, get others open shots with his relentless screening and hit the offensive glass. Utah had the #1 offense with him doing that. Wolves beat Memphis. Maybe you missed that since the trolls didn't make a thread about that for some strange reason like they do if they lose

or you can just say he's physically and intellectually outmatched by the opposing teams player on a nightly basis

you could say that but since he's an all NBA DPOTY you'd be wrong but keep trying!

or Utah having the #1 offense had absolutely nothing to do with Gobert. the Jazz offense made Gobert looked good if anything else.

a guy getting 30 minutes a game has to have something to what goes on at both ends of the court. Gobert setting picks to get guys wide open looks has nothing to do with it for sure. The threat of him rolling to the rim had nothing to do with the wide open looks either. His elite efficiency at the rim has nothing to with anything either. Him getting them 2nd chances with his offensive rebounding can't have an impact I'm sure. You've got a lot to learn about trolling yet. Hang around and maybe you'll get there with the others

yeah it take time to figure things out sometimes. What about their improved D and rebounding though? There are two ends of the court.

def rtg dropped 1 place so far, net rtg dropped 9 places so far, and Gobert is keeping up with what he did last playoff, letting opposing team drop uncontested 3's all day because he lacks the heart to rotate as he needs to stick around the rim to keep his rebounding numbers up.

not making it to the CF ever doesn't help his case, neither does regressing at the age of 30

their D is better with him in the lineup but don't let facts get in the way. He might lack many things heart certainly isn't one of them. The problem with him going out to 3 point shooters is the Jazz got killed at the rim if he did. With Towns you'd hope that would be a bit different

Wouldnt "the numbers" say the same about Jokic this year?
Do you really think he 'regressed' as a player?
Smart has his team in 1st place
should probably give him mvp this year

jokic is god tier with an agenda against him
smart isn't
Remember the $200 million contract they gave for him. :kobe:

He's never been favored to make it to the conference finals. He's overachieved all along the way. A bit early to say he's regressed suddenly. He was never better than he was last year. His numbers are down on a new team that hasn't figured it out yet

and yet one of the best players in the league. Doesn't say much about the current NBA I guess

Because he sucks and yields mediocre expectations even while surrounded by superstar talent and elite role players.

superstar talent and elite role players who left Gobert to guard his man and theirs. The first player in the HOF that sucked?

Let zing blow him for 40 points?
