Gobert is better than Tyson.
And the Whiteside comparison is silly. Whiteside never came close to impacting the game like Gobert. No one ever for a second considered Whiteside even close to what Gobert is now. Forget this argument for a second about whether Gobert is a top 10 player and just consider the concensus NBA comunity opinion that Gobert is at least top 20. Whiteside was never close to that.
I'm not even much of a Gobert fan. I don't want him on the floor with KP. But even if Kam is a bit off with his top 10 assessment, he's not off by much just based on NBA community concensus. Kam is way closer to reality than most of these arguments that are calling him crazy.
The "Whiteside is a good comp" thing is crazy. Go take that argument to folks that know more than we do and see how far you get.
Not crazy at all, he was monster on the boards, blocked shots, high point avg considering it was all around the basket stuff. He was better than Andre Drummond. You did not want to step in the paint with him back there. He averaged almost 4 blocks a game one season??! WTF you are not giving him enough credit.
