Rudy Gobert will never get enough credit for his immense impact. The Minnesota Timberwolves center is often mocked for lowlights on social media -- but people fail to mention that by every measure, he is one of the best defenders in league history. Outside of his defense (somehow) not being praised enough, Gobert's consistency doesn't get discussed nearly enough.
This season, Gobert is on track to make his ninth All-Defensive team in 10 years. He has been an elite defensive anchor and rim protector for a decade plus. Since 2015-16, Gobert has anchored a top-10 defense in all but one season; this level of consistency is remarkable.
