It was to be expected, the injury of Karl-Anthony Towns reshuffled the cards in the game of Wolves, and more particularly in attack, and it is our Rudy Gobert national who is doing the best. In December, Wolves’ new center is averaging 17 points and 12 rebounds with a nice 70% on shot, and he’s struck up an interesting relationship with Kyle Anderson.
“Kyle makes it easier for everyone around him” explains Gobert. “He’s such a smart player, and with Kyle, I just have to put myself in the right place because the ball will come. There’s nothing magical about that. »
Inspired by Joe Ingles
Trained in San Antonio, and valuable in Memphis for his altruism, Anderson has joined the starting five, and Gobert is the first to benefit. “It’s very hilarious” acknowledges Anderson. ” I watched a lot of videos of Joe Ingles, to see how effective he was with him. Just his ability to create with Rudy for the past few years, and I just have to try to find Rudy when he opens up to the circle. »
Witness to this rise in power and this relationship, there is Naz Reid. “I see him stealing a few things from me. Eurosteps. He catches the ball, and his finishing is very good. He’s important to us, especially right now. He is a very important player. »
More used in attack, Gobert has created automatisms with D’Angelo Russell and therefore Anderson, and the Frenchman ensures that he has progressed compared to the Jazz years. “I think I keep getting better year after year. I think I’m a better player today than last season. »
