Rudy Gobert vs Andre Drummond
I’m not usually big on the in-game matchups, because they often let us down, but I’m more than intrigued to watch the showdown between Rudy Gobert and Andre Drummond during opening week. Two of the better defensive players in the NBA, and perhaps the two biggest rising star centers in the league, face off against each other in what promises to deliver.
This is a game in which both starting centers can post outrageous numbers while going against each other. On opening night, Drummond posted an 18-point, 19-rebound performance. We could see two of those lines when the Jazz and Pistons meet.
Get hyped. Gobert. Drummond. Yes.
