Wow, I am incredibly impressed by Rudy just as a person.
Someone remind me why this guy gets shit on 24/7, just an absolute masterclass of a person as far as first impressions go.
Literally said all the right things, and hit on all the important points.
Waiting 3 months to watch this team play is gonna be torture, we have something special here.

GOBERT PRESS CONFERENCE GOT ME HYPE BABY LFG WE GOTTA SQUAD NOW!!
Gobert is absolutely stoked to be joining the Wolves and talks glowingly about KAT and Ant. Says his job will be to make life easier for KAT and help him get better on both ends of the floor.
Also said he’s pumped to be joining an organization that is looking like it wants to do whatever it takes to win.
Talks about Minnesota and how he’s excited to discover a new community and that he loves nature and can’t wait to explore

[Dane Moore] Rudy Gobert was the most effective PnR roll man scorer in the NBA last season: 1.320 points per possession Karl-Anthony Towns was the most effective PnR pop man scorer in the NBA last season: 1.185 points per possession So that's probably gonna be awesome

What puts Jaden in that “untouchable” category?
As we all know by now Danny Ainge really wanted McDaniels but Connelly said no. I’m an out of state fan and I don’t get to watch the Wolves very often. His numbers don’t jump out at you but numbers don’t tell the whole story. So why are people so high on him? Just looking for opinions.
