Rudy Gobert on fire, the figures of a monumental month
Rudy Gobert and the Jazz can approach the playoffs with hope in a conference as open as the Western conference. The tricolor pivot also arrives in a totally mind-blowing form, the proof with its monstrous figures for the month of March.
The Western Conference is particularly open this season, and it is quite difficult to release a strong favorite to reach the Finals. The Suns are obviously in excellent position with a first place almost assured and automation already perfectly in place, but the injury of Chris Paul could have an influence on the rest of the events. Without the leader, the title will be difficult to get.
Similarly, the Warriors have been showing limits for several weeks, in particular with a big breakdown of address on the part of Stephen Curry. If we add to that all the inexperience of the Grizzlies of Ja Morant, Utah finds itself in a position that is not necessarily unfavorable. Quin Snyder’s men have the collective experience to go far, and the talent to win defensive or offensive games.
Rudy Gobert on the basis of a historic month of March!
At the heart of Jazz’s success, or a new bitter failure, will undoubtedly be Rudy Gobert, the franchise’s X factor. The French pivot continues to shine defensively, and since the beginning of March, he still seems to have turned a corner in the field, which is quite amazing. This Wednesday, against an interior as talented as Nikola Vucevic, he was totally dominant.
Rudy Gobert against Chicago: 14 points, 20 rebounds, 4 blocks. His opponents are shooting 53/143 (37%) when he defends against them in March.
In the month of March, Rudy Gobert is a real wall in the NBA rackets. If he is not necessarily in the best shape offensively, he compensates by limiting his opponents to only 37% in shooting, which is quite mind-blowing in the paint. Draymond Green can affirm the oppositebut the pivot of the France team is widening the gap in the race for the title of defender of the year.

Rudy Gobert is doing a month monstrous defensively, which is obviously good news before the playoffs. In a conference that has Nikola Jokic or Deandre Ayton, it is better with an interior capable of extinguishing them.
