Utah Jazz Rudy Gobert

Rudy averages 20 PPG

“I know a lot of fans think Gobert doesn’t do much on offense, but that simply isn’t the case.

He’s really improved his hands and ability to catch passes. His footwork is looking better as well. He’s playing with guys that will get him the ball, he’s a great pick and roll player and I really think he can hit 20 PPG this year.”
