Rudy Gobert says Suns, Warriors are a step ahead of Jazz 'in terms of winning habits'

Gobert this year is producing averages of 15.5 points, 15.1 rebounds and 2.3 blocks per game, shooting 70% from the field and 68% from the free throw line.

Utah Jazz big man Rudy Gobert talks about the difference between his team and the two currently leading the Western Conference.

“When I watch some of these other teams like the Suns or the Warriors, those guys are a step ahead in terms of winning habits. They take every game personally. Devin Booker is playing his ass off defensively. Guys like that, they buy in, and you can tell they take pride in playing defense and stopping their man, doing whatever they can defensively to stop the other team and be part of a winning culture. I think we’re not there yet, but I think we’re gonna get there. ”

It definitely seems a criticism of his teammates, who have allowed over 120 points for 100 possessions in the last 5 games, with the French big man in the league’s health and safety protocols.
