Rudy Gobert is one of the best defensive players in the league and the ability to protect the basket, and since playing for the Jazz, Gobert has always been the key to the team's inner defense, and his presence has indeed made it impossible for opposing outside players to easily impact the basket. And on the offensive end, Gobert is also a player with the ability to stabilize the interior finish, especially as an empty scorer.
So far this season, Gobert has averaged 15.5 points, 14.8 rebounds, 1.1 assists and 71.2 percent shooting for the Jazz so far this season.
It's just that not every player agrees with Gobert's defense, such as the Warriors' interior fighter Draymond Green. Some time ago, Green said that he did not want to be compared with Gobert when it came to the defensive end:
"You always mention him in my topic, we're not the same..."
In response, Gobert said that he regarded all criticism as "respect", of course, Gobert also added that if he was an "ordinary player", people would not talk about him:
"I'm not talking about him," Gobert said, "when I see him, he's always very kind and respectful, and it's not just Draymond who reviews me on podcasts, and there's a lot of people trying to denigrate what I do on the pitch as a player, but for me I'll always take it as respect." If I were an ordinary defensive player, an ordinary player, they wouldn't talk about me and I would always treat that as respect. ”
In fact, the criticism of Rudy Gobert is largely due to the lack of playoff success during his time with the Jazz, and for now, Gobert looks likely to become a Hall of Fame player in his future career, although this premise may still be that he can help the team succeed.
