“Rudy Gobert’s Mysterious Vanishing Act: Where Has Minnesota’s Star Center Gone?”
The Problem Has Always Been Offense
The reason that small ball isn’t the preferred mode of combat for every team is because a lot of teams have a traditional center who can make them pay for it with their size and interior scoring on the offensive side of the floor.
Gobert has always struggled to do this. While Gobert owns the third-best defensive DRIP in the entire league this season, he’s a negative on the offensive side of the ball (minus-0.4).ÂÂ
Against the Lakers, Gobert is averaging just 4.0 points on 45.7% true shooting.
