Underrated part of Rudy Gobert's game is key to the Timberwolves' offense

Minnesota Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert is mainly known for his defensive impact. In many ways, this is rightfully so, as he is a historically great rim protector. However, Gobert's offensive impact can be glossed over at times. He's not an elite two-way threat or self-creator. One area that goes overlooked with Gobert's offensive skill is his connective screening.

Notably, Gobert's 4.8 screen assists per game ranked second in the NBA last season. Gobert accounted for just over 55 percent of the Wolves' screen assists. Since being traded to the Wolves, Gobert has ranked in the top three in screen assists and led the league in screen assists in the year before landing in Minnesota.
