Message: [QUOTE="cliftonparksufan, post: 3104052, member: 9"] If you are referring to my hottest take ever, I came clean in another post by admitting my faux pas but my post was also misinterpreted. It was asking if Chukwu had the ability to make a jump like Gobert did and not really asking if he could be as good as Gobert. People forget how poor offensively Gobert was when he first came into the league and he still scores all his points within five or seven feet. He is just much stronger and now holds the NBA record for most dunks in a season. Defensively is another story where Gobert is just an absolute monster. Chukwu had some injuries so he never developed as we all hoped and some people just aren't as good. Looking back, a fairer question could have been is could Fab Melo have been as good if he had the same dedication as Gobert. After all, Fab Melo was a 22nd pick and Gobert was 27th. [/QUOTE]
