Look, you won't find anybody on this board that believes in the Western Conference more than I do. But I also don't understand why for recognition purposes sometimes people go out of their way to reward players that don't win over players that to do. Part of it is I think Gobert is criminally overlooked. It's not cool to have traditional big men, but in an era of stretch bigs Gobert dominates. It's not a Ben Wallace situation either. The Jazz wouldn't be able to run what they do offensively without his scoring threat and his effectiveness freeing up space for their other players. Ever since Gobert became a starter the Jazz have won. That's not a coincidence. So why is he an afterthought but KAT always comes up in these conversations? Because people get all hot and bothered over ppg? We're in the era of stats nerds. We're smarter than that though. Except we're not. [/QUOTE]
