Now - comparing a young 20 year old who couldn& #39;t even get minutes to a top 10 player of all time is crazy. I admit it- but I don& #39;t think he& #39;ll be near as good ok. I& #39;m not saying that - But, he has the chance to be a "just do everything right and have a huge impact"
One of the types of players that is so incredibly valuable in todays game is - the big who can defend the rim, and is a Pick N Roll threat. That& #39;s Gobert in a nutshell right?
Problem with so many of these athletic, or big/long defensive centers is - they just aren& #39;t that good of basketball players. (hi Capela).
Their athleticism allows them to be a major defender, but then on offense they have so many limitations -

Goga doesn& #39;t have this problem. He& #39;s a pure basketball player - even if he doesn& #39;t have a massive bag that would turn him into a superstar. He& #39;s a true hooper.
The reason I say "Duncan light" is - the smoothness, and calmness he displays on the court reminds me of Duncan. No - he doesn& #39;t have all the tools Duncan had - (he& #39;s also 20) But he has the chance to be the "be in the right spot, make the right play" type of center
How many teams have a center that can do all that on the defensive side:
And then run a Pick N Pop and nail a three on the other end?
There just aren& #39;t many bigs that have that wide arrange of skillsets.
There& #39;s usually glaring weaknesses somewhere.

Goga can step out - but he also loves to get physical in the paint.
