Rudy Goldberg ???? He speared his way into an All NBA Team.

I’ll take the guy with heart. Rudy, KAT is weak minded. They can’t even smell the playoffs with wiggings

You mean the guy who got his ass kicked by Jimmy Buckets and 3rd string players, along with the rest of the starters? No way I’m picking him to start my franchise. He doesn’t want it bad enough, he’s not driven, and he lacks effort on the defensive end. Give me Gobert any day of the week.

Towns and Wiggins are typical number / stats builders and NOT winners, they will NEvER win NOTHING together since Wolves basically exhausted their salary cap by paying both of them Max dollars and neither one of them is an alpha

Kemba and Lebron didn’t bring there team to the playoffs why did they make it then? Dudes a dumbass if you needed to win games in order to make all NBA then the all nba teams would look way different

Rachel is right again about the way the NBA decides awards – However, the question at hand- who would you rather build a team around? Rudy Gobert or KAT? Rudy Gobert- guy is a defensive beast, and shows up every game- I Like KAT, but Jimmy Butler was right, he dogs it 1/2 the time- for a “franchise player” for the T-Wolves, KAT is inconsistant, sometimes great, often just meh- KAT isn’t complete trash Like Andrew Wiggins is, but he’s still already getting overpaid- the real truth? D Rose was a better player for the T-Wolves this season than KAT 1/2 the time, and D Rose got paid League Minimum

Set the playoffs aside. Gobert still did more. Plain and simple. And this man is really using a popularity vote by fans as an argument? Lmao. It’s not about who would you start your franchise with. It’s about who was better between the 2 THIS YEAR. And that answer is Gobert.

Neither Anthony Davis nor Karl Anthony Towns made the playoffs and neither their defensive nor offensive ratings were as good as Rudy.

Kendrick is a terrible pundit. He adds little to arguments and can’t justify his decisions and thoughts in any convincing way.

KAT is not a winner, a grinder, doesn’t finish well, 4th quarter he disappears, horrible at passing, finding the open player or making opportunities for other players and himself. Decision making sucks. Lacks big time in the defense end, other bigs annihilate the dude. He can’t take over a game or lead a team and with that bum coach his numbers will only drop. Kats potential and what he actually does on the court are 2 different things. He is NOT all-nba!!!

It all depends who else you have on your team. If you have scorers already? No way in hell you gonna pick KAT over Gobert. No one in the entire NBA impacts defense in the key more. People who normally drive to the basket straight up cower and back off when he’s there. Lol nobody does that against KAT. This dude can’t even pronounce his name correctly he can fuck off.
Now that said, if I don’t have a strong scoring presence at another position? Yeah I’d probably take KAT. It all depends on what the team needs. In either case though, this pick is at least a difficult one to fight over. They both deserved it, Gobert just did a little more. He’s 100% the reason for Utah’s success, despite Donovan’s sex appeal. Minnesota has the pieces for success, they just don’t have the drive to win. KAT being a classic case.
