Watch: Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert drills back-to-back threes in EuroBasket warm-ups
Three-time NBA Defensive Player of the Year Rudy Gobert and the rest of the French team will take on upset-minded Poland in Friday's EuroBasket semifinals. During warm-ups, the Minnesota Timberwolves center was caught on video draining multiple three-pointers, something NBA fans aren't accustomed to see him doing.
In 611 career regular-season games across nine NBA seasons, Gobert has gone 0-for-11 on attempts from distance, while going just 0-for-1 in 49 playoff contests. The three-time All-Star may be getting a bit braver with three-point tries though, as he's taken four attempts from outside in each of the last two campaigns.
Gobert had 19 points and 14 rebounds in France's most recent win against Italy.
The 30-year-old was traded from the Utah Jazz to the Timberwolves at the beginning of July.
