Rudy Gobert’s impressive 2018-19 campaign with the Utah Jazz wasn’t enough for an All-Star nod. The 26-year-old center will leave the snub behind him and do his best for a spot in the 2020 NBA All-Star Game. However, many can point out he deserved a trip to the Spectrum Center.
The All-Star Game itself offers the players a chance to take a break from their team’s busy schedules. It also provides an opportunity to look back on the first part of the Regular Season and the various stat leaders.
Among the ten players on pace for 300 field goal attempts with the best percentages, four are Europeans. Gobert is on the top with 65.4%, while Clint Capela is third, Domantas Sabonis sixth and Giannis Antetokounmpo ninth.
