Starting center of the Minnesota Timberwolves, Rudy Gobert is affectionately called the “Stifle Tower” due to his intense, stifling defense. The 7 feet 1 tall Gobert is a four-time NBA Defensive Player of the Year award winner, tied first in all-time rankings. Gobert is a seven-time NBA All-Defense team member and was named an All-Star three times. He was a rebounding leader in 2022 and led in blocks for the 2016-17 season. 0

Rudy Gobert hails from France and started playing pro basketball at the age of 19 for Cholet Basket in 2011. It was in the 2012-13 French League when Gobert truly broke out as a star. In the same year, the Denver Nuggets drafted Gobert in the 2013 NBA Draft with the 27th pick in the first round but they decided to trade him to the Utah Jazz on draft night. Gobert had terrific nine seasons with the Utah Jazz as they regularly made the playoffs but always fell short. In July 2022, Rudy Gobert was traded to the Minnesota Timberwolves and since then he has been a key player for them. In the 2023/24 season, Gobert won his fourth Defensive Player of the Year, as the Timberwolves had a deep playoff run and reached the Western Conference Finals. In the 2024 NBA playoffs, Rudy Gobert averaged 12.1 points, 9.8 rebounds and 1 block per game while playing 34.2.
