Why The Golden State Warriors Do The Deal
In some respects, Gobert has had bad luck in his career so far.
He’s been the best rim protector in basketball for quite some time, and he probably still is. With that said, he’s consistently had to cover for poor perimeter defense.
During his years on the Utah Jazz, the organization frequently skimped on solid perimeter defenders with the logic that Gobert could cover for them. In Minnesota, he’s stuck making up for Karl-Anthony Towns.
In Golden State, Gobert could finally find solace. He’d be teaming up with Draymond Green in the front court. Moreover, his penchant for collecting screen assists makes him a natural fit in this offense.
