Surprise, Surprise. Turns out Rudy Gobert is really, really good. Tonight, Gobert dominated the Nuggets on both ends of the floor creating space for shooters on offense and doing that work himself inside. For the game, Gobert was a +36 in the Jazz’s 125-102 win over the Denver Nuggets.
That’s right, +36. PLUS THIRTY-SIX.
Gobert receives all sorts of hate from national media, twitter warriors, and other players. And all he did was dominate the league MVP, Nikola Jokic tonight. In the first half he was doing what he always does. He created highways to the rim for shooters and space at the line for the Jazz shooters.
