I’m not willing to say Gobert’s a negative offensive player given all of the screening and rolling he does that does legitimately open stuff up, but it’s obviously a shortcoming. While Rudy Gobert is incredibly talented defensively, he still has inexplicable offense lapses. While Donovan Mitchell is really, really skilled offensively, he’s back to being a negative defensively.1 offense for the season.īut there have been matchups this season, including this one, where they just look like they got out-talented. And they still, remarkably, have the league’s No. They have a coveted coach, and credible basketball depth through about roster spot 13. Rudy Gobert is perhaps the league’s best defender. Donovan Mitchell’s really talented, one of, oh, the top 10 offensive presences in the league. There’s certainly some good stuff about the Jazz. Three thoughts on the Utah Jazz’s 107-101 loss to the Charlotte Hornets from Salt Lake Tribune Jazz beat writer Andy Larsen.
