Gobert’s EuroBasket presence underscores the defensive anchor archetype’s international return. While France isn’t fielding Wembanyama here, Gobert’s steadiness sketches how high-floor centers translate to fantasy floors, especially in blocks and boards, even as other stars light up the scoreboard across Europe.

Gobert anchors fantasy blocks and field-goal efficiency. His volume in Minnesota should secure steady boards and defense, making him a reliable late-round center option with less downside than many high-variance bigs.

Gobert’s defense-first profile is analyzed for fantasy value, weighing upside in blocks and field defense against scoring limits. The discussion drills into how his presence shifts others’ stat lines and the fantasy implications of his defensive footprint.
