Donovan Mitchell is pretty obvious Lee on his way to being a max player. If those to continue to be the two best players on the jazz, I doubt they will ever come even remotely close to contending for a championship. Luka and KP are way closer. Throw Luka into that Utah mix, somehow, without losing Mitchell, and all of a sudden you’ve really got something with Gobert.Hmmmm, in order for me to put Gobert in the max contract worth I'd have to watch more of his game cause the easy things to figure it out are the things that get people to notice, and people notice Gobert when they're giving out DPotY awards mostly. That's not fully true, cause his blocks get a good amount of ESPN air time.
The question to ask for Gobert to be able to reach max contract status is if he can impact the game anytime he steps on the court. If your team has a coach that can put a scheme around Gobert that keeps him in the game in crunch time, then he is absolutely a max contract guy. If not, then nope.
I think there is risk involved with going after Gobert for this team. But if they did get him, I wouldn't be upset and can see a way that it could probably work too. Now, would his impact here be max worthy? Not sure about that. To be honest, probably not. Then again, max worthy is all about how much your owner is willing to spend as well. If Mark keeps the pocketbook open with Gobert onboard, then who am I to tell him no.
