Ya he would often shift before they got past their man. They weren't having Mann bring the ball up with Rudy on him and clearing out for Mann to go one on one against Rudy or something though.
He did bother people at the paint often and they kicked the ball out to open three point shooters.
As for your comment about teams pulling him out of the paint and him not punishing them...... Did we ever try a zone defense? Or anything? How about putting 4 guys around the perimeter and Rudy down low? Like a 4-1 zone. How about something? Anything. And when the jazz have the ball there is no rim protector for the clippers right? So how about trying to attack the rim. Rudy isn't the only one that should be making them pay for going small. All the jazz offensive players should share in that responsibility when there is no rim protection imo.
Fact is that after all this time and all the small ball that we have been seeing for years and years quin should have had a plan of some sort. He seemed to have absolutely no plan for small ball and no plan to attack a zone. That **** is crazy to me
