The Utah Jazz changed once Rudy Gobert stepped onto the floor. Just like all other dominant players, he changed the game around him, as well as what everyone else was doing on the court. Players would actively avoid driving to the rim to avoid his incredible length. But Gobert wasn’t just tall and long, he was athletic too. His ability to make that second jump with lightning quickness allowed him to contest multiple shots on single possessions. When you combined that with his competitiveness, it’s no surprise he’s won 3 DPOY awards. It really should be 4, although there’s no question he’ll earn another in Minnesota.
