Utah Jazz, miffed about Rudy Gobert snub, to propose new All-Star reserve selection

Deseret News

SALT LAKE CITY — Utah Jazz management isn’t just being vocal about its strong belief that Rudy Gobert deserves to be an All-Star and was wrongly denied the honor.

The front office — which believes Gobert’s slight was “nonsense,” a word used by Jazz president Steve Starks and general manager Dennis Lindsey — is hoping to ensure a similar snubbing doesn’t happen again.

In hopes of improving the selection process, Utah brass will submit a proposal to NBA commissioner Adam Silver to overhaul the way All-Star reserves are chosen, Jazz general manager Dennis Lindsey announced Friday.
