Rudy Gobert Turning a Corner
The Jazz have been an enigma all season. How good are they? Do they have a superstar? A go-to player come crunch-time in the playoffs. One could argue Gordon Hayward, but I'm not so sure.
Currently slotted as the fourth seed out West, the Jazz are playing some of their best basketball of the season. Much of the credit should be given to Rudy Gobert. The fourth-year French-man is averaging nearly 23 points and 15 rebounds over his last 5 games. The Jazz are 4-1 over that span.
If the Jazz want to be serious contenders come playoff time, they will need to supplant two of: Golden State, San Antonio, and Houston. What each of those teams lack is a dominant low post presence. If Gobert continues on this tear, Western Conference foes should fear the Jazz.
