I love Rudy , he has been a great Jazzman , stood proud for Utah .
I just don’t know where this team goes with him and Don being the big 2 … how many more times do you want to try , with the same outcome ?
We got exposed again in the playoffs , maybe Synder didn’t pull him cause he is our max guy ? But everyone else on the planet could see what the clippers were doing .
Think about when Rudy matches up against the best in Embiid , Jokic , AD ect … does he really slow them down ? Does he stop them ? Does he keep them under 20pts ? Nope , not really , they still get theirs .
Surely the best defensive player in the league should have some impact on them , slow them down .
Yes , he wins us the odd game , with a last play block , which is nice .
But that’s our ceiling with him isn’t it , he isn’t turning into a jump shooter taking you down on the low block , with the small guy on him … posting up the small guy … with what move ? He has the foot work of a deer with skates on … Still can’t catch passes thrown at him or finish like a 7’2 guy should .
I dunno what we get for him , but we’ve seen this movie before , it’s time to try something else
