There is a lot of buzz regarding Rudy Gobert being the top candidate for the Defensive Player of the year. Few NBA players have even questioned the 3-time DPOY’s legitimacy as even a solid defender.
Anthony Edwards and Patrick Beverley were among the players who have doubts about Rudy being the top defender in the league after the Utah Jazz trashed their Minnesota Timberwolves.
While Marcus Morris Sr. had just praises for the big man from France. Clippers forward said only Rudy could defend among the whole Jazz team and can cover for the whole team’s lack of defensive ability.
Believe any of them or not, Gobert is having yet another remarkable year averaging over 15-points, 14.8- rebounds, 2.3-blocks and an assist a game.
He had another monster night on the board Saturday night, where he had 19-rebounds and 6-blocks but was unable to stop an atrocious attempt by the Wizards guard Bradley Beal.
Twitter reacts to Bradley Beal’s poster on Rudy Gobert
The Washington Wizards visited Utah to have their revenge from last week’s clash against the Jazz, which had put them on a 3-game losing streak. And their leader Bradley Beal came out with some intent and authority.

After starting the game’s first 5 minutes without any contribution, Beal had 37-points, 5 rebounds, and 7 assists in a close match which finished 109-103 in Wizards’ favor. Twitter was quickly on to Beal posterizing Gobert and his overall amazing night.

Wizards would look to capitalize on Beal’s form and will like to go on a similar winning run like their 10-3 start to the season.
