Rudy Gobert is not leaving Berlin without a gold medal around his neck. “I’m here to win,” Gobert was straightforward, per Mozzart Sport. “The goal is a gold medal, and only that will satisfy me. “I will try to be even better in order to achieve that goal. I believe that this team has enough quality to be the best in Europe. We have to beat Poland and then one more. After that, I will be happy,” said the new Minnesota Timberwolves player.

Little clip here explaining why I think it’s important this year for Ant to be a threat on offense even when he’s not initiating.
When DLo is initiating pick and roll, the threat of Ant off-ball is going to be key in opening the lane so KAT/Gobert can put pressure on the rim. pic.twitter.com/Mme3U1TMDE – 2:38 PM

Impressive 4th quarter and overtime execution from France, and Rudy Gobert specifically, in their Eurobasket Quarterfinal win over Italy this morning. Gobert did his thing in both big and small ways.
I’ll tweet out some clips from the game later this evening. – 1:18 PM

France is plus-12 with Rudy Gobert on the court, which seems like a good sign for their chances in overtime against Italy (on ESPN+). – 1:03 PM

Utah’s draft pick hauls in Gobert, Mitchell deals certainly shook the trade market.
Said one general manager, “It’s going to be interesting to see how fast things get back to normal after this — if they do.”

More on this storyline
He delivered when it mattered the most. In the Round of 16 and the quarterfinal stage, Gobert averaged 19.5 points, 15.5 rebounds, and 24.0 EFF. “We have to continue to do well and above all, to believe in ourselves. I have the impression that we are improving from game to game. We knew that as a young team we would make some mistakes. The beauty of it – we can learn a lot from all of this, and it can be seen that we are doing just that,” the French center pointed out. -via BasketNews / September 15, 2022
Donovan Mitchell disagrees that the now-broken-up Utah Jazz core “didn’t really believe in each other” as team CEO Danny Ainge said earlier this week. “I don’t think we didn’t believe [in each other],” Mitchell told ESPN Wednesday on his first day in Cleveland as a Cavalier following a Sept. 1 trade. “I said at the end of the season, don’t trade [Rudy Gobert]. Let’s figure this out, let’s do. And that didn’t happen. For him to say that after six months around the team, I disagree. But you know, at the end of the day, that’s his decision.” -via ESPN / September 14, 2022
