Yeah, I saw the entire 2nd half he played.

You could still tell the offense was much less fluid with him in the game.

I will get really excited when he is catching slightly difficult interior passes in traffic and finishing quickly.

Think he is definitely going to do work on the bench, but I still think his offense is too far behind, until he can finish stronger and not turn it over as much down low, to be a starter.

And the thought of the offensive spacing with him and Favors on the floor is mind numbing.

His offense surely is raw but you got to give him 30 minutes to develop it. He literally owned the boards today and that was against as good a big man line-up as he will see in the NBA. He wasn't giving ground to Marc Gasol either, and that guy is as strong as they come. He also was catching some fairly difficult passes and getting his hands on richochets off the rim that were anything but easy to handle. I think you might be underestimating what he can bring this year.
 
Anyone put up in game Gobert footage? = Instant REP:)

If Gobert does not start he will be a spark in the second Unit and on the court in fourth

Little bits of game footage is all I can find. I want to see just how Rudy affected the game, and this requires more footage. Thanks though!

Don't you have Internet access to ESPN3? If so, you can see the whole game.

My take: Rudy benefitted quite a bit from matchups. Pau is a size Rudy can deal with, and he had a terriffic game (though interestingly he struggled against the similar sized Tomic in the previous game). But he was playing on Pau most of the time. It would have been harder for him against a bigger center. He did play against Marc a bit, but not much. But Marc had a terrible game, no matter who was on him. Marc just didn't show up ready to play for some reason.

Rudy's lack of strength at this point makes him still more of a situational player even defensively than we hope he'll be later. It remains to be seen whether he gain gain the strength to battle on a more full-time basis against the wider NBA centers.

Recent games have been on ESPN 2, not 3.

That's why I think DL will tank it "1 more year" and grab Karl Towns.


Gobert & Towns is a perfect match made in heaven.

Gobert / Favors
Towns
Hood
Hayward / Burks
Exum / Burke

That's a line up I can get excited about.

Porzingis per Chad Ford was in the US this summer with an American trainer and pretty much wowed everyone in the gym. Already showing 3pt range. He could be the man. I still doubt we will have top 5 pick unless ping pong balls go our way.

It will be interesting to see him go against Radulijca. He is almost a Pekovic type player. Despite France's defeat of Spain something tells me Serbia will win the game. Serbia should have won the first matchup.

I will gladly pimp myself as much as I can on this forum if anyone can produce the entire fourth quarter of this game (likes, rep points, a heartfelt reply extolling the virtues of the respective provider, my vote for an important bill). I enjoy watching Rudy as much as anyone on the team and couldn't watch the game live. I beseech you most fervently!

Here's the 4th quarter:

Edit: Just watched it myself and discovered that the last 1:50 is missing. Damn. It's very good anyway, though.

YES YES YES!!!


Karl Towns if we get a top #3 pick, but if we don't, then hopefully Porzingis falls to the #5-#8 range where we'll certainly grab him no questions asked.
