A former Jazz teammate concedes Gobert can wear on people but dismisses the idea that he’s a malcontent. “Some people get frustrated with Rudy, but he’s just French,” he jokes. “He’s a good guy. But he’s focused on being as great as he can be, and he wants to show he can do more than just defense. … All of us get frustrated when we’re missed. [But] there are much worse … NBA personalities than Rudy. I hate to even comment because I think it’s only going to get bad if it’s overspeculated in the media. If it’s not, they will figure it out and be professional.”
