Offensively he wouldn't, which is the same knock that's going against Rudy and the former has more DPOY awards.
That's how I know cats are bias against him
This is precisely why I mentioned Mitchell Robinson of the knicks. His style works
Dwight Howard is tired of people sucking off Rudy Gobert

Rudy's impact gets reduced by near 80% as soon as he can't roam around the low block.
He isn't quick enough to recover on blowbys, and if you switch him on the perimeter, he gets cooked.
Almost every team that has a center/forward who takes Rudy put the paint, he becomes unplayable.

That’s because the Knicks aren’t asking him to do more offensively.
People literally clown Gobert for being DPOY and being ass offensively in the playoffs when his team could have used the offensive.
Robinson isn’t a fair comparison as he doesn’t have the accolades or expectations that Gobert and Wallace would have.

Pass me the rock nikka
Damn, Ben Wallace shot 38% on lay-ups, 24% on jumpers, 31% on hook shots, 43% on tip ins, 49% on free throws in Detroit’s ‘04 title season

Best case scenario is like Robert Williams for him in this era and he’s not quite the dunking machine, doesn’t have the same FT line touch, or passing chops as Williams. Like a worse offensive Robert Williams with unlimited stamina and Andre Drummond rebounding.
A small, swole Mitchell Robinson with better conditioning/stamina not bad comp but again he’s not quite the dunking machine.

This just isnt true. Im a Wolves fan and not a Gobert fan really but the best way to defend Joker, and really the only way ever proven to be consistently effective, is to take away the playmaking aspect and help with actual size. Rudy basically shuts down all the other Denver movement and action by shutting the water off in the paint. He cant handle Joker 1-1 but neither can Bam or AD. But he does what they cant do which is dominate the paint in other ways. Gobert was on the floor when the wolves swept wing heavy Phoenix and then beat Denver yet folks still claim he cant play in the playoffs. They clown him for the one series against LA while ignoring the fact that Utah had bad to terrible perimeter defenders yet had a good defense almost strictly because of Rudy. The issue wasnt that he couldnt guard Mann, it was that he couldnt get to Mann in the corner while also trying to protect the paint while his guards were getting blown by. On top of that, for centers he’s actually good at switching onto guards and holding up. There’s tons of examples of it from the last few years but he got cooked by Curry in prime time and Luka hit a step back over him like he does everyone else in the league so people ignore all the examples of him holding up in those spots. His flaw isnt defense, its the lack of offensive game to punish people. But in truth he’s improved in that area as he attacks the boards, draws fouls, goes for duck ins when teams try to go small now. He’a not a perfect player and he looks mad goofy so folks like to clown but he was absolutely the deserving dpoy last year. The year before the wolves dont make the playoffs without him. He’s legit a guy you have to watch regularly in actual games to appreciate. Thats why coaches consistently vote for him for these awards. They base their entire offensive game plans around him, yet he’a consistently anchoring top defenses. There are so many many that have refuted this stuff with video, numbers, etc yet people say this stuff with their chest and be dead wrong. Just one example:

You remember Mann hitting open corner 3s while Gobert tried to protect the paint cause Utahs guards were getting cooked? nikkas act like it was Mann iso’s at the top of the key every playStill remember when Terence Mann shytted on dude
I don’t know why the NBA insists on giving it to him every year. Bam and AD need some love.
He's right. Several great defensive players have called Gobert an overrated defender.
Duncan is one of the greatest defenders ever, Pippen was an elite defender for years. And they don't have a single award. Meanwhile Gobert has like 4? Disgraceful.

He's an excellent defender when he's not guarding PGs at the top of the key. Who started this dumb ass trend?

Just say yall don’t like Gobert
When Gobert was traded and got paid by Minny nikkas swore the Jazz would be in a better spot and the wolves would be ass.
They went to the WCF and the Jazz was damn near worst team defensively ever .
The goalposts be moved so much with this dude

Is Lamar Jackson not an elite QB because of him folding under pressure in the playoffs?
LMAO
ELITE DEFENDER WHO BECOMES
UNPLAYABLE IN THE POST SEASON
AND OLYMPICS
But jokes aside, regular season prizes are regular season prizes. I don't know why people try to act like it's anything else. Half of these guys don't even take half of the regular season seriously in the nba. Winning the defensive player of the year doesn't necessarily mean that you are the best defender, just that you were the best defender in the regular season
Edit: That is especially when it comes to defense
