NBA Hall of Fame (Part 1 of 2)

Rudy Gobert

Age: 28

Recommended Card: 2013-14 NBA Hoops #287

Gobert’s age and position keep him off the radar of many collectors.  However, in 6 seasons the Frenchman has earned 2 All-NBA selections, won NBA Defensive Player of the Year 2 times, and averaged 15.1 points and 13.5 rebounds per game during the 2019-20 season.  These achievements indicate that he could have a shot at making the Hall of Fame someday.  In addition, Gobert’s Jazz team is primed to make some deep playoff runs.  When this happens, look for collectors to pursue Gobert’s cards with increased intensity.

How about you?  Do any of the players listed here not make your Hall of Fame cut?  Are there rookie cards that you think are better options for the players on this list.  I would love to hear from you.  Please leave your comments in the section below and keep watching the website for part 2 of this series.
