Timberwolves' Rudy Gobert: Excellent as two-way threat
Rudy Gobert notched eight points (4-5 FG), 15 rebounds, two assists and three blocks in 23 minutes during Friday's 127-102 victory over Portland.Gobert was efficient from the field, dominant on the glass and active as a rim protector, ultimately making a sizable impact on both ends of the court in this huge blowout win for the Minnesota Timberwolves. Gobert has been a bit inconsistent in the scoring column, but other than that, he's having a solid start to the year. Through nine appearances, the big man is averaging 11.3 points, 10.4 rebounds and 1.3 blocks per game.

Timberwolves' Rudy Gobert: Comes close to double-double
Rudy Gobert closed with 21 points (9-11 FG, 3-3 FT), nine rebounds, three assists and one block over 32 minutes during Thursday's 135-119 win over the Bulls.Gobert engaged in a battle with Nikola Vucevic, and while the Bulls big man outplayed him from a statistical perspective, the Frenchman delivered an impressive outing in his own right. Gobert missed just two of his 11 shots from the field and finished just one board shy of what would've been his fourth double-double of the campaign. This should be categorized as a huge bounce-back effort for the veteran, who had scored 10 or fewer points in three of his previous four contests.

Timberwolves' Rudy Gobert: Racks up third double-double
Rudy Gobert accumulated 17 points (7-10 FG, 3-4 FT), 14 rebounds, three assists, two blocks and one steal in 36 minutes during Friday's 119-116 victory over Denver.That's three double-doubles in five games for Gobert, who is still adjusting to having Julius Randle as his new frontcourt partner instead of Karl-Anthony Towns. Gobert's shot volume is down -- he's managed only 6.6 FG attempts a game so far, which would be his lowest mark since 2015-16 -- but the veteran center is averaging 11.8 boards and 1.4 blocks per contest while shooting 63.6 percent from the floor.

Timberwolves' Rudy Gobert: Minimal offensive role in win
Rudy Gobert ended Thursday's 117-115 win over the Kings with three points (1-2 FG, 1-2 FT), 11 rebounds, one assist and two steals over 35 minutes.Gobert has never been a high-volume scorer but only two field-goal attempts is still a low mark for him. The good news is that the four-time Defensive Player of the Year has logged double-digit rebounds in both of his outings this year and played exactly 35 minutes, giving him plenty of playing time to rack up defensive stats.

Timberwolves' Rudy Gobert: Logs double-double in opener
Rudy Gobert supplied 13 points (5-8 FG, 3-4 FT), 14 rebounds, two assists and one block across 35 minutes during Tuesday's 110-103 loss to the Lakers.Gobert grabbed his share of rebounds, but he had no answer for Anthony Davis in the paint. The combination of Gobert and Julius Randle needs some time to develop, as the trade that sent Karl-Anthony Towns to the Knicks happened less than a month ago. It will take a few games for the duo to gain a better understanding of their roles in the new scheme, but Gobert should continue to be a nightly double-double threat.
