Depends, he wasn't physically ready to play last year and a bulk of the backup minutes went to Kanter and Evans, because they liked starting Marvin Williams next to Favors for spacing. This year, Kanter is going to start (and shoot 3s
) and those minutes that went to Marvin Williams are available now.
Throughout the preseason Gobert has played 21mpg, last year he played more than 21 minutes 3 times the entire season. In those 21mpg in the preseason he's averaged
5.6ppg 9.1rpg 1.7bpg
You can usually dismiss preseason numbers, but he's a defensive 5 that is freakishly tall/long and usually the biggest guy on the floor, that's not going to change. If he gets 20mpg, he's going to average around 7/10/2.
