Currently, the best NBA player never to have made an All-Star game roster, Gobert's impact on the Jazz's fortunes is about as MVP-worthy as a primarily defensive player could have.

Consider this - the Jazz were staring down the barrel of lottery selection in the 2018 NBA draft at 19-28 before Gobert staged his comeback from an MCL injury.

The Jazz went on a mean 29-6 run to end the season with a fully healthy Gobert being the only major addition to their squad.

Not only is Gobert the best defensive center the NBA has seen in a while, but he is also a selfless offensive player who never demands more touches than he deserves given his skill set, and he scores pretty efficiently at the volume that he's asked to.

Gobert is the best traditional big man in the game today, and he's going to be here and hereabouts for a few seasons to come, injury absences notwithstanding.
