He's really not though..

Okay, I got ahead of myself. He's a lot better on the perimeter than people give him credit for.

Still gets put in the spin cycle fairly easy, and looks like a baby deer at times, but he has improved in that area compared to a few years ago for sure. He's like stretch armstrong though, able to get back into a play so easily and make a play even when he seems out of it.

you're god damn right I would

It's a razor thin difference between Draymond and Simmons for 2nd place. Draymond has the slight statistical edge, but Simmons seems to have the media narrative with his name always being mentioned.

Just needs to be better offensively so he can play more than 20 minutes per game.

Rudy has always been a defensive stud but this year I’ve seen him just flat out embarrass people more often. & he’s sneaky been bodying people & dunking on them just so viciously at times. He is looking thicker this year too, no homo.

wow you sound like you wanna kiss him on the mouth

Are the Jazz actual contenders with Rudy Gobert as their second best player though?

That is the question.

We don't have top tier top 5 player in the league, but we are the deepest. We literally have 2 guys fighting over 6 man of the year, DPOY, 3x all stars and an awesome bench.
