At Timberwolves practice Friday, Rudy Gobert made a statement that should have fans feeling optimistic about the season he could produce.
Gobert described how he felt physically. This time last year, he was still playing through the effects of a knee injury he suffered playing for Team France. This year, even after playing for France in the FIBA World Cup, he came back healthy. He was asked whether he felt like his old self this season.
"Not even my old self. I feel better than I've ever felt, because I feel like I'm stronger than I've been," Gobert said.
