Rudy Gobert has become a very controversial player in the NBA.
The Minnesota Timberwolves star is a polarizing figure that often gets criticized around the league.
After several years with the Utah Jazz, he joined the Timberwolves, but his impact has been minimal so far.
Following the play-in game against the Oklahoma City Thunder, Skip Bayless again criticized Gobert.
I understand why Rudy Gobert can be so frustrating. He just doesn’t play with much authority on offense around the rim. Should’ve had 50 vs the little Thunder. Had 21 & 10 – with no blocks. Did make 9 FTs. Did bother a lot of shots. But not remotely worth what Minn gave for him.

Seeing the height difference and the youth on the Thunder, one would’ve thought Gobert would dominate.
However, although he had a very nice game, it wasn’t as good as some like Bayless expected.
When Gobert was traded to the T-Wolves, it raised a lot of eyebrows around the league.
The Jazz received a lot of talent for the Frenchman, who is a three-time Defensive Player of the Year, but not a superstar.
This season was full of ups and downs for Minnesota, who ultimately got the 8th seed in the West.
Gobert has been involved in many controversies this season, including punching teammate Kyle Anderson.
Now, the Timberwolves are ready to face Nikola Jokic and the Denver Nuggets in the playoffs.
This will be the real test for Gobert, who will go against one of the best players in the NBA.
The Frenchman has a big task in hand, and the team hopes to shock the Nuggets.
