Jazz's Rudy Gobert: Double-doubles versus Suns on Wednesday

Gobert totaled 21 points (4-7 FG, 13-14 FT), 10 rebounds, three blocks and a steal over 28 minutes in Wednesday's 104-99 victory over the Suns.

Analysis:

Gobert tallied his first double-double of the exhibition slate Wednesday while showcasing some unexpected proficiency from the charity stripe after converting on just 56.9 percent of his free throws in 2015-16. While preseason numbers should typically be taken with a grain of salt, it's certainly encouraging to see Gobert not only getting to the free throw line at a high rate, but convert them at such a high rate. If he can be simply a competent free-throw shooter throughout the season, his value in rotisserie leagues would get a nice boost.
