Jazz's Rudy Gobert: Double-doubles in Monday win

Gobert managed 17 points (7-8 FG, 3-3 FT), 10 rebounds, three blocks and a steal across 26 minutes in Monday's 104-78 preseason win over the Clippers.

Analysis:

Gobert continues to make good on his promise to become an improved shooter in 2016-17, particularly from the charity stripe, where he's gone 32-for-41 (78%) over five exhibitions. It's a small sample, but that's a marked improvement on the 56.9 percent rate that Gobert posted a season ago. Gobert looks primed for what could be the best season of his career after rattling off double-digit scoring in four of five preseason tilts and notching double-doubles in three of those contests.
