Rudy Gobert in the 90s
Could he be a top 10 C in the 90s? What do you think?

Probably not. They would have tried to put too much weight on him and he would have had injuries.
Would The Bum be good anywhere at anytime?

Why would they put weight on him if he's already heavier than most of the top Cs in the 90s?

Thats what they did back then. They didnt understand yet that bodies are only made to carry so much weight. Also he would have had to bang a lot more in a much more physical league that was built around post play

The guys who were smaller had no issue though. Surely he would adjust to the style at the time. We know he's a dirty player now so he might have exceeded in the 90s.

Re: Rudy Gobert in the 90s
Gobert probably would be a nobody in the 90s. The slow pace and lack of spacing required players to develop better post moves or to brute force it with low skill but max physicality.
I don't think frenchie would respond well to banging and getting elbowed in the mouth. He's a bit of a complainer to the refs.
He'd be a run of the mill Bryant Reeves type with the shortened career to match.

lol so he doesn't deliberately push people in the back when getting rebounds? He's been called for it in this current series and I've seen him doing it without the ref noticing. Pushing guys while they are in the air and all.
Then you got stuff like this:
This is something Bill Laimbeer would be proud of.
