Rudy Gobert was a revelation for the Utah Jazz last season.

This summer, the 23-year-old center is continuing to build on his ever-growing repertoire while representing his home country of France at EuroBasket 2015.

Near the end of the first half against Bosnia and Herzegovina on Sunday, his teammate Boris Diaw - known for his court vision and passing acumen - found an open Gobert cutting along the baseline for a two-handed slam dunk over a helpless Bosnian defender.

Although Gobert's statistical output in this game was relatively pedestrian - just five points, five rebounds, and three blocks in 18 minutes - he made several spectacular plays on both ends of the floor that likely saw fans in both France and Utah pumping their fists.

Gobert is the defensive anchor of a French squad aiming to defend their EuroBasket 2013 title while also qualifying for the 2016 Olympics.
