Rudy Gobert (UTA) – “Stifle Tower” | “Inspector Gadget (Go-Go-Gobert!)” 
Profile:
Center: 7’1, 245 lbs; 4th year, France
NBA Role: elite rim protector • UTA Depth Chart: Starter
‘Inspector Gadget’, ‘Stifle Tower’, ‘Rudy’…whatever you want to call Gobert, know this: you’re not getting many shots past him on the inside; throwback center: not in terms of his overall profile, in the sense that he goes after every shot and isn’t afraid to get posterized; single-handedly shuts down driving lanes on some nights – one of the league’s premiere watch dogs: consistenly finishes near the top in defensive win shares and block percentage; not a natural back to the basket scorer* but very Gobert’s very capable as a keep it high, catch & finish guy; improving patience: needs a go-to move: a (more concise) sweeping, lefty hook could be a game-changer for Coach Quin Snyder; future All-Star? – Rudy’s game continues to grow – it’s almost a cinch at some point if UTA maintains elite defensive numbers
*Rudy’s “post impact” comes from finding cutters, short passes in the lane
