Per 36:
Kessler: 13.2 pts / 12.0 reb / 3.9 blk
Gobert: 15.6 pts / 13.5 reb / 1.5 blk (career low)
[Note: I expect Gobert to go on a nice run here with Towns out... even if the first two games on his own wouldn't support that take.]
Yep, Kessler's looking really good. He had 12 rebounds and 5 blocks tonight along with 10 points. He helped the Jazz beat the Warriors. The good news for the Wolves is that Gobert had 21 rebounds, 15 points and 3 blocks to help the Wolves beat the Pacers tonight.
Another thing that Kessler's success so far as a rookie tell us is that Connelly seems to have the gift for identifying young talent that he was reputed to have when the Wolves stole him from the Nuggets. Kessler, Moore, Minott, Garza - all of them are looking good so far this season either at the NBA level or in the G-League.
