Ok, it's getting into the dog days of the off-season. Not much to talk about and the same old tired debates going back and forth. So, here's something perhaps worth discussing.
One of the biggest stories of last season was the stunning and rapid development of Rudy Gobert into an elite defender. His combination of physical tools and quickness turned around Utah's season - I believe Utah was a top 3 defensive team after the all-star break, or something like that. It was surprising because Gobert was extremely raw when he was drafted. Looking at the Draftexpress profiles, you see that Bebe has similar physical tools and quickness... Gobert is taller, yes, but Bebe makes up for that with his hair (... just checking if anybody's still reading this.)
Anyways, I know that the first comment will be that playing under Dwane Casey is the worst place for a young player to develop, but it would be a shame to see a player like Bebe, who seems to be well suited for the way the NBA is changing go to waste. What would it take for him to realize his potential? Does he have attitude issues? The other question is: why did the light go on for Gobert, when he came into the league with so little experience
