Rudy Gobert, reflecting back on being drafted lower than hoped
Q. When you came out you said you wanted to be a top seven or eight pick. Do you feel like you're proving wrong some of the teams that didn't take you?
RUDY GOBERT: Of course. Of course. I have a lot of pride. So*I got drafted 27, but I knew I should have been drafted higher. Every day I'm trying to make them regret not drafting me.

I like Gobert's game, but I'm not a fan of players that need slights to motivate them, for so much of their career.

I'm ok with it. He plays with a chip on his shoulder. Can't wait to see him go after Hibbert and Pau this year. He'll be looking to prove something.
