With one of the youngest and most exciting cores in the NBA, the Jazz are finally starting to spread their wings and look like they’re about to take the next level heading into next year.
Monday night, there was loads of young talent on the court when the Jazz took on Andrew Wiggins and the Timberwolves.
Gobert, who has been a rebound and block machine since becoming the starting center for Utah, had another impressive outing against Minnesota.
He showed off his shot-blocking ability when he swatted away Gorgui Deng.
Gobert, standing at 7’2 has one of the longest wingspans in the NBA and challenging him at the rim is never a good idea.
Gobert is only 22-years-old and is already showing some amazing talent. It appears that the Utah Jazz have found their center of the future.
