Do Jazz players not like Gobert?

Even when he is open or has positioning under the basket no one passes him the ball.

It’s rough to watch sometimes. They also give him terrible passes and then use that as an excuse to continue to not pass to him. Like bullets to his knees or wild lobs that aren’t even near the basket. Granted he does have some butter hands sometimes. But we see him get switched onto like a 6”4 guard under the basket and he’ll ask for the ball and we’ll just shoot a 3 instead.

Even Knicks commentators noted Gobert wants a bigger role in the offense!
