NORTH SALT LAKE — If Rudy Gobert wasn’t the favorite player of students at Foxboro Elementary, the Utah Jazz center certainly is now.

The feeling is mutual.

Gobert is impressed by kids from the school with a French-English dual-language immersion program, too — oui oui, even if a few of them humorously put him on the spot during his visit Wednesday afternoon.

While some students asked fun questions about his favorite foods — American (doughnuts), French (liver pâté) and ice cream (gelato) — others inquired about some more pressing and personal matters during two Q&A assemblies (one in French, the other in English).
