That’s a pretty impressive stat line, but it doesn’t even begin to explain how much he changed the game.Apr. Monday night, Gobert finished with 24 points, 15 rebounds, two steals and three blocks. His ability to make multiple plays I think is unique, really for any player, but particularly for a center.” He’s able to close out and run across the court to block a shot. “Rudy’s able to contest a shot, get back on the glass, contest a second shot. “It’s not often you see a center that’s able to make multiple plays,” Snyder said. Sometimes he puts a lot of those things together in the same play. He also guards in space, blocks shots before running the floor and leading a break to draw in the defense, is a roll threat and then defends the pick-and-roll with ease. It’s not just that Gobert can intimidate players from entering the paint.

It’s no secret that Gobert either leads the league or is near the top of the list of almost every defensive metric, and he remains the favorite to win Defensive Player of the Year this season, which would make him a three-time DPOY. “When guys get the ball and they think they’re going to have an open layup and all of a sudden they just get blocked, or they see me and they think that it might be better if they don’t shoot, I think it’s a little demoralizing,” Gobert said. Humiliating the competition is something that energizes Gobert and when it happens early on, as it did Monday, there’s almost no way to keep him from dominating a game.
