Rudy Gobert, a man of many talents, including putting his hands on every mic while having COVID and being an avid fan of defense and rebounding in the NBN. His career had great longevity and an interesting trajectory. Will this be enough for him to get into the NBN Hall of Fame?

Arguments For Induction
- If you want a high end defender and rebounder, Gobert was the model of consistency in the first 2/3 of his career. Always over 12 rebounds per game, always over 3 stocks per game. While the offense was mediocre at best, you always knew you were getting good defense out of Gobert.
- A jack of more than just one trade, Rudy was also pretty good passing the ball and had a knack for being a net positive in most games he was in in terms of APG:TO ratio, which is surprising for a big man who isn't much of a scorer. It was a nice added level to his game.
- 406 double doubles, which, at the time, was pretty close to the top of the board, probably only trailing a few players in the long run. While he was never going to do a ton, he held his own, and was usually a decent contributor offensively and defensively along the way.
Arguments Against Induction
- Hall of Fame vs Hall of Good argument is back again. Where do we draw the line in terms of specialists entering the Hall? Gobert was a great defender and rebounder. Is that enough?
- Offense is always a big part of the Hall of Fame and it's going to be a tough swing to argue him getting in with his offensive production. 12.1 PPG isn't it and his career high FG% never ended up over 45%, which just ain't it.
- He bounced around a lot and wasn't necessarily a cornerstone player. During the peak of his career, he was on six teams over four seasons and wasn't one of those guys you would give up a ton for.
Vote carefully, and remember to throw out arguments regardless of which side you're on. This should be a discussion that eventually gets the league to the proper decision on him. Your vote can also be retracted after it's been cast if you feel like switching to the other side based on the arguments that have been made. To be inducted, a player needs 70% and to be considered in a later class they need 50%. Vote carefully.
***BONUS - Don't forget that everyone who votes gets $25 and the person that makes the best argument or contributes to the discussion the best will be awarded an extra $25***
