The biggest thing that sticks out is Minnesota has embraced him as a leader. Particularly their young superstar that embraced the fact that Rudy has a high standard and respects him for the example he sets. After last year, Gobert said that he had some hard conversations about what needed to happen if the Wolves were going to be legitimate contenders and everyone bought in.

Gobert's motor and competitiveness is rare in today's game. The guy plays so hard. Wish it could have worked in Utah. You can say a lot of things about Gobert, but the example he sets is one every franchise needs.
