The Silent Struggle: Why Has Rudy Gobert Vanished From Minnesota’s Spotlight?
So far, one of the bigger storylines has been the presence â or lack thereof â of four-time NBA Defensive Player of the Year Rudy Gobert.
Despite being the teamâs 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.
