Rudy Gobert posts a double-double in Utah's preseason opener
Utah Jazz center Rudy Gobert posted a double-double, dropping 10 points while grabbing 13 rebounds in 22 minutes of preseason action against the Portland Trailblazers on Monday.
What It Means:
The 24-year-old seems to have picked up where he left off last season, and if he can stay healthy this season, he should continue to be a force in the middle for the Jazz.
Gobert nearly averaged a double-double last season, with 9.1 points and 11.0 rebounds to go with 2.0 blocks in 31.7 minutes per game. His 17.5 player efficiency rating, .582 true shooting percentage and 20.2 percent total rebound rate were all down from the 2014-2015 season, but he saw more playing time against starters last year, while also playing injured at times.
