He looked different than the dominating Stifle Tower who burst onto the NBA scene with his stellar defensive effort in the second half of the 2014-15 season.
Jazz coach Quin Snyder could tell something looked different about Gobert long before the third-year French player went out and had his best performance of the preseason.
