Rudy Gobert Creates a Buzz at adidas EUROCAMP!

By Sam Neter on June 13, 2012

Ironically, the one player who did the most to help his draft stock at adidas EUROCAMP was not an actual individual participant but part of the French U20 national team that was invited to compete. Rudy Gobert (’92) has created a huge buzz around himself after the camp, which has seen well respected NBA draft website Draft Express bump him into the top 5 of their 2013 mock draft.

Just bumped Rudy Gobert into the top-5 of our 2013 mock draft. That’s how impressive he’s been here at #adidasEurocamp draftexpress.com/nba-mock-draft…

Measured at the camp at over 7’0″ without shoes, and owning a ridiculous 7’9″ wingspan , Gobert controlled the paint in both games for France U20, as well as finishing a number of plays around the rim with powerful dunks.

He has improved drastically since we first saw him at Future Stars in 2010 (check him out in a short couple of clips from our Top 10) and for a guy to be that size with that sort of mobility – the sky is the limit! Check the highlights!

Do you like our work?

We have a tiny favour to ask. In 2018 we set out to make Hoopsfix sustainable by building our relationship directly with our readers. Up until now, Hoopsfix has been creating editorials, videos and podcasts to provide sorely missing coverage of the British game and its distinct culture and community.

We have funded Hoopsfix with our freelance work creating basketball media, but sadly that means not only does it fall behind our client’s priorities, but some of those clients are the same organisations we need to report objectively on putting us in a conflicted position.

We want to devote more time to our mission of helping British basketball reach its potential, and produce even more content for the basketball community by making Hoopsfix a sustainable 100% independent business funded directly by our readers through Patreon.

If everyone who enjoys our content chose to support us, our future would be much more secure. For as little as $3 per month, you can support Hoopsfix – and it only takes a minute.

We are tremendously honoured and humbled to have a community of people who value what we do, and we look forward to being at the forefront of the British game as it continues to evolve.
