Mebert
Not Mebert's Alt
Yeah, honestly 5-9 to me is pretty interchangeable based on your preference. For me, I factored in that Gobert is going to be low on the totem pole for the Jazz this year. You have Hayward, Favors, Johnson, and Hill now in that lineup, and one would expect not a lot of offense will run through Gobert. He'll likely be the guy for put backs and occasional dive cuts to the hoop. Other than that I don't see much of an impact from him offensively. Defensively he's a beast though, and probably the best overall defensive center in the NBA.
Edit: Forgot to mention he'll also be behind Hood, Burks and Diaw for touches too.
If we are looking at Center value purely on offense then yes Gobert is lower. On value to the team though? Jazz defense fell off a cliff when he went out. He won't score the most points, but no one is going to add more value on that team than him. Maybe Hayward.
Favors is really underrated right now I feel like. People haven't noticed his game because the Jazz haven't been very good. Offensively he's also been a bit over-shadowed by Hayward. He's also very good defensively but gets overs-shadowed by Gobert. The guy has 20-10 potential and this could be the year he finally gets it with a true PG in Hill.
Favors adding a midrange game made him far more dangerous than he gets credit for.
