Why is Rudy so spastic when he gets the ball in position to shoot during a game?

I've seen Rudy shooting the ball in practice and even on the foul line. He's certainly not a good shooter, but he's not nearly as bad as when he gets the ball in games in the paint, 5-10 feet from the rim. What is his problem? I think it's mental. I think Quin needs to give him the green light to shoot whenever he is open from 10-feet on in, and to train him to crash the boards when he does take those shots.

because he is garbage
 
It's mostly mental. There's always going to be some anxiety/reluctance there until he starts to shoot that shot 1-3 time a game and make them. Until that time, he'll just look spaztic because he's perhaps unsure if he should shoot. It's not natural to him. Because he's never done it in a game, time and time and time again.

On top of that, a 5-10 foot shot is a very awkward shot range unless he's doing some sort of a hook.
 
He just lacks offense. And with that comes lack of confidence with everything on the offensive side. Shooting, catching a pass, passing, etc.

We know he looked mediocre on offense in the Olympics. How did his d look?

Pretty much fell flat all over the place from what I saw and read and heard from friends. I really wonder about him at times. Maybe we better not be so quick to cut Pleiss out of the picture. I think after his injury last year Rudy lost a lot of confidence and I hope he is working on conditioning and rehab this summer. Personally I hate having pros in the summer games. They need time to heal and get back into game shape for next season. If Rudy lost the time to properly heal and rehab due to the Olympics that will affect us all season.

Dude Pleiss is a joke. But I agree. Gobert needed the rest and we badly need everyone to be healthy to fully assess what we have.
 
Rudy played like 7 games. That won't affect him that much, if any at all.
