Gobert managed 17 points (7-8 FG, 3-3 FT), 10 rebounds, three blocks and a steal over 26 minutes in Monday's 104-78 preseason win over the Clippers.

EDGE Analysis

Gobert continues to make good on his promise to be an improved shooter in the coming season, particularly from the charity stripe, where he's now logged a 78 percent success rate (32-for-41) over five exhibitions. Despite the fact that's a small sample, those numbers are a marked improvement on the 56.9 percent that the Stifle Tower shot from the free-throw line last season. Gobert looks primed for what could be the best season of his career after rattling off double-digit scoring in four of five preseason tilts and notching double-doubles in three of those contests.
