Gobert: My role is the same, the goal is to be the best in the world

Minnesota Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert spoke after the team's win over the Toronto Raptors. Asked whether his role had changed as the team's style of play evolved, the French player said his approach remains the same.

Gobert said the role expected of him is to do the best job in the world. He stressed that he wants to keep dominating on offense through his cuts, screens and offensive rebounds.

Gobert also shared his views on team talk, saying they do not want to be a team that talks too much. He added that some players are motivated by talking, and that as long as they stand behind it, it is a positive thing.

The Timberwolves, who started the season unbeaten, face the Cleveland Cavaliers on Monday. The 34-year-old Gobert is averaging 9 points and 12.3 rebounds per game this season.
