Rudy Gobert is a Defensive Player of the Year candidate year in and out. He is one of the last true centers that can defend at an elite rate while remaining in the paint.
Gobert does not venture out to the three-point line, but that does not mean he is not valuable.
The Hawks need to have a big man who can compete with Bam Adebayo and Giannis Antetokounmpo. Gobert would be the only piece going to Atlanta to create a bit of a big three.
The Hawks would have to send a big man of their own. Clint Capela would lead the charge going back to Utah, along with Bogdan Bogdanovic and Onyeka Okongwu.
