Rudy Gobert's early-season performance somewhat sums up the Minnesota Timberwolves' puzzling start to the year. That is to say, there's a lot that doesn't make sense. The Wolves' defense is amazing with him on the court, but awful with him off the court. On the offensive end of the court, the opposite is true to a lesser degree.
Gobert's 9.5 points per game marks his lowest average since the 2015-16 season, and at 33 years old, it's fair to wonder if he is declining. Likewise, his 9.5 points are his lowest PPG average since 2014-15, which was his second season.
