NEWS: It is unlikely that Zion Williamson is traded before the NBA Draft, league sources tell The Athletic.

But behind-the-scenes tensions between Williamson and the Pelicans have intensified over the past few months, @WillGuillory reports.

"Compare Rudy Gobert to prime Dwight Howard. You're allowed to choose one as better even if they were good at different things."

As of my knowledge cutoff in September 2021, Rudy Gobert and Dwight Howard in his prime are two of the most dominant defensive big men in the modern era of the NBA. Each player has his own set of strengths and has been an essential piece for their respective teams. Here’s a comparison based on various aspects of their games:

  1. Scoring and Offensive Skills: Prime Dwight Howard was a more versatile scorer compared to Rudy Gobert. He had a decent post-up game and was also an incredible force in pick-and-roll situations. Gobert, on the other hand, primarily scores through putbacks, dunks, and as the roll man in pick-and-roll situations. Howard in his prime also showcased a bit more touch and footwork near the basket compared to Gobert.

  2. Rebounding: Both players are exceptional rebounders, but Dwight Howard in his prime was more dominant on the boards. He led the league in rebounding for five consecutive seasons from 2007-08 to 2011-12.

  3. Defense: This is where the comparison becomes very interesting. Both players are incredible defensively. Gobert is known for his rim protection and his ability to alter shots. As of my knowledge cutoff in 2021, he has won the Defensive Player of the Year award three times. Dwight Howard also won the award three times during his prime. However, prime Dwight was more mobile and could defend pick-and-rolls better than Gobert. He was also an elite shot blocker and was somewhat more versatile on the defensive end due to his athleticism.

  4. Athleticism: Dwight Howard in his prime was one of the most athletic big men the NBA has ever seen. His combination of strength, speed, and leaping ability was phenomenal. Gobert is also athletic but not to the extent that Dwight was in his prime.

  5. Impact and Achievements: In his prime, Dwight Howard led the Orlando Magic to the NBA Finals in 2009 and was considered one of the best players in the league during that period. Gobert has been an integral part of the Utah Jazz's success but hasn’t led them as far in the playoffs as Dwight did with the Magic.

Based on the aforementioned aspects, I would choose prime Dwight Howard over Rudy Gobert. In his prime, Howard was not only a defensive juggernaut like Gobert but also brought more offensive versatility, rebounding, and athleticism. This made him slightly more valuable as an all-around player. However, it's important to note that both players are exceptional in their own right and have had a significant impact on the game, especially on the defensive end.

  58. MIL: Adam Flagler

 

Intel:
  • Hornets at 2: "Prevailing thought amongst teams we've spoken with remains that the Hornets will wind up going with Miller. That said, the news that Henderson put in an excellent first workout in Charlotte has led some around the league to, at the very least, poke holes in that assumption."

  • Portland keeping the 3rd Pick and will try 'Threading the Needle' (or the Two Timelines Special): "Barring a team unexpectedly emerging on draft night with an offer they simply can't refuse, sources told ESPN the Trail Blazers are planning on keeping the pick and adding the type of talent to the roster they would be hard pressed to bring to Portland if not through the draft. The team will attempt to thread the needle between being competitive with Damian Lillard at the helm and continuing to build for the future with Shaedon Sharpe, Anfernee Simons and this draft pick"

  • Amen Thompson the Favorite at 4: "Thompson looks increasingly like the frontrunner at this spot, with the Rockets weighing a big upside swing on the hope that he can become the type of connective guard their roster needs"

  • Cam Whitmore Trending Down: The intel shifted in recent days following Whitmore's workout in Detroit, indicating that the Pistons may look in a different direction, be it trading down or selecting another player such as Walker."

  • Anthony Black Returned to DC for a 2nd Workout: "Washington brass has kept its draft plans close to the vest over the past few weeks, but sources told ESPN Black traveled back to D.C. for a second workout over the weekend, and is strongly in the mix as they eye long-term backcourt options to build around"

  • Utah looking to Move Up. Plans to use their Cap Space to take Bad Contracts like Davis Bertans: "Sources told ESPN the Jazz are exploring many different options on draft night, including packaging their first two picks to move up into the lottery (possibly to Nos. 5, 6 or. 7), or using their two latter first-rounders and taking on a contract from a team such as Dallas for Davis Bertans, for example, a move that could only be consummated July 1. Utah has been linked to [Jarace] Walker for much of the pre-draft process"

  • No One really knows what the Raptors are Doing: "Picking a shooter such as Dick or Jordan Hawkins, or pairing franchise stalwart Scottie Barnes with a versatile combo guard such as Bufkin, Nick Smith Jr. or Hood-Schifino is believed to be some of their most likely options according to rival teams. However, the amount of activity coming out of the Toronto front office makes it difficult to project what they will do. It's also not clear whether they will be able to meet the financial demands of center Jakob Poeltl in free agency, who prefers not to be in a rebuilding situation next season, sources told ESPN"

  • Guards Prospects (Outside the Lottery) Avoided Rockets due to Crowded Backcout: "The glut of guards in this range -- many of whom avoided working out for the Rockets due to their crowded backcourt situation"

  • Bilal Coulibally in NYC but No Team Workouts Planned: "Sources told ESPN Coulibaly flew to New York City on Monday and will not end up conducting any team workouts due to travel constraints"

  • Lakers have Narrowed Down to 3 Prospects: "Jett Howard is said to be part of a group of options that include Lively, Smith and Noah Clowney, only two of whom are available in this scenario"

  • Warriors looking to Draft Older: "Warriors are said to be looking at a different strategy on draft night this year, after previously picking young, developmental-type prospects which have been difficult to fully integrate into their style of play. Rival teams have pointed to the likes of Podziemski, Jaime Jaquez Jr. and Kris Murray"

  • Nets 'Extremely Active' in Trade Discussions: "Nets are said to be extremely active in trade conversations, having the option of using one or both of their first-round picks (Nos. 21 and 22) with players such as Dorian Finney-Smith and Royce O'Neale to get to different spots in the draft if they desire"
