Rudy Gobert-Bourgarel has definitely utilized his incredible wingspan in the six years that he's been in the NBA. He is currently the back-to-back Defensive Player of the Year and has been in the All-NBA Defensive First Team three times. He earned Second All-NBA Team honors in 2017, and Third All-NBA Team honors in 2019.

In 2017, he recorded a career-high 9 blocks in a game against the Indiana Pacers, and currently has a career total of 895 blocked shots.

In the 2019-2020 season, he broke the NBA record for most dunks in a single season with 306. He also led the league in screen assists last season at 482, and matched his career-high of 25 rebounds in a game against the Pistons. Overall, he had a pretty terrific season last year, averaging 15.9 points per game, 12.9 rebounds, 2.0 assists, .8 steals, and 2.3 blocks per game.

Gobert's presence on the court has helped his team get to the playoffs for three straight years now, advancing to the second round twice. With offensive weapons Mike Conley and Bojan Bogdanović recently added to the roster, Gobert and the Utah Jazz are expected to go deep in the playoffs this season.
