“Rudy Gobert’s Mysterious Vanishing Act: Where Has Minnesota’s Star Center Gone?”
So far, one of the bigger storylines has been the presence – or lack thereof – of four-time NBA Defensive Player of the Year Rudy Gobert.
Despite being the team’s highest-paid player, Gobert is only fourth on the team in total minutes, with only a couple more minutes played than non-starters Naz Reid and Nickeil-Alexander Walker.
Ironically enough, a year ago this time we examined how Gobert was dispelling all the playoff narratives that have been crafted about him in the past. As recently as a few weeks ago, we even highlighted him as one of the main reasons why we are in a Golden Age of great defenders.
