None of those guys are close to Gobert. 

I never really like the "it hasn't been done that way" argument. It was used against Dirk as well. There is some value in talking about archetypes, but some players are simply better than other players of their ilke. I think Gobert is more impactful than what is expected of his archetype. 

Given that, I'd say the odds are against Gobert leading a team to a championship, but not just because of his archetype. The same is true of Jokic, Lillard, Harden, Embid and others. It's hard to win a championship. But that doesn't mean you give up on Jokic, Lillard, Harden, Embid, etc. (hard to say that about Harden at the moment, but...). You just have to try to build the best roster possible. There are very few players at any one time that make you an immediate finals contender, but there are a lot of players who can be your best (max) player and that will require some better team building to make it work.
