Rudy Gobert (C, UTA) - NBA Waiver Wire pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in all leagues

OWNED: 48% of Yahoo! Fantasy Basketball Leagues

ANALYSIS: Gobert has been on a tear since January began, especially once he was given the starting nod following Enes Kanter's ankle injury on the 3rd. Averaging just under 10 points per game, Gobert has begun to polish off what was a very raw offensive game when he entered the NBA three years ago. It’s on the defensive end that the 7’2” Frenchman is turning heads. The 22 year old is proving to be one of (if not the) best young rim protectors in the league. Over the past five games, this center rejected 3.8 shots a game and pulled down a shade over 8 rebounds a game, while anchoring a defense that is holding opponents to 89.8 points per game. Be weary of the occasional stinkbomb that he'll drop, but don't let them miss out on what could be a fantasy stud. Enes Kanter owners bewared because the Frenchman may be here to stay. If Gobert happens to be still on your league’s waiver wire, the time to grab him is now.
