C 1 - Rudy Gobert (Utah Jazz)
The Utah Jazz, as we read in one of the previous slides, has not been really good to start the season. They are currently 12th in the West, with a 14-15 record and they have won 6 of their last 10 games, an encouraging upward trend.

Apart from Donovan Mitchell's performances, they also need their other rim protecting star to have a good game as well for them to win. This player is Rudy Gobert.

Gobert has been enjoying a great start to his season even though the Jazz are not. He is averaging more than 14 points per game along with atleast 12 rebounds to go with it. He is an elite rim protector as well, having 2 blocked shots per game as well.
In the win over the Miami Heat in their last game, Gobert was absolutely dominating Bam Adebayo on the court, not letting him score much and he himself put up 10 points and grabbed 11 rebounds with 2 assists.
He also had 2 steals and 2 blocks in just 26 minutes. He and the Jazz go up against the Orlando Magic and he will be looking to perform at this level again.
Alternate pick: Karl Anthony Towns (Minnesota Timberwolves)
