“Rudy Gobert’s Mysterious Vanishing Act: Where Has Minnesota’s Star Center Gone?”
First off, I apologize if that reference doesnât immediately register with you. But the point is that basketball is no different. Every player has a weakness.
For Gobert, a titanic gatekeeper who denies drivers entry into the paint like few that have ever come before him, his weakness is teams that can space the floor and keep him away from his sacred space.
Outside of the 18 minutes Jaxson Hayes has been on the floor, the Lakers have spent a majority of this series without a traditional center (81.3% of the time). Most of the time, all five of the players in the lineup are legitimate threats from downtown. This means that Gobert hardly has the opportunity to camp out in the paint and do what he does best.
