Agree. Also, Gobert seems like a decent passer so if nothing is there for him, he'll find someone to kick it out to...he's not a black hole like Big Al or Kanter.

Rudy is not great when he has the ball. He is an excellent pass through guy. Every great pass he has had has been a touch pass. He needs to figure out a few things to be a great all around passer. He seems to panic when he has the ball too long in the post, and can't create offense. He also needs to get better at catching passes that are less than perfect passes.
Well are starters have one of the best offensive ratings in the NBA, so I would say they are better than average. I think you can cut Kanter and add in a cheaper substitute though.
Exactly. The instincts and natural ability are there. The comfort with the ball and consistency aren't though. I think he will get there and be a very good passing big man, but he isn't yet. I would say he is an average passer with occasional glimpses of his future passing ability.

I'm tired of the offense trying to go around Rudy. It seems like they are more willing to throw a bad pass half cross the court to Ingles for a turnover. Wtf is that? Just dump it into to Rudy a few times so our offense works better. Let him shoot a couple time, let him do a couple post ups, and let him pass it a few times. Have Rudy start shooting few outside shots so he is just limited to rolling to the basket everytime. I'm sure he isn't gonna be all that bad. He can shoot free throws and he's tall, so he can get his shots off. Don't we want to develop him? What are we waiting for? It's not like our team is bursting at the seams with shooters. It doesn't have to be a ton, just some, instead of none would be nice.
I notice it's Hayward a lot that tries not to pass to Rudy. It seems like he has a beef with him or something. There's even been times where I thought they going at each other a little bit after Rudy says something to him.
I like that Rudy is fighting for his spot on the team. He isn't afraid to make mistakes and speak his voice.

Rudy fumbled a couple in the first quarter, but made up for it in the 3rd. Loved the 'oop from Ingles. Joe had an outstanding night.
Agreed, they should go to him a few times in the game, against second units mainly, where you dump he the ball in the post and he can work back to the basket. Just a few times, nothing more, to show him that you trust he will developp that move and become an offensive, option. Plus it would be a good way to teach him how to deal with potential double teams, pass the ball while in possession, etc.
For the rest, all the little brain farts, panicky moves or bad choices, these are things that get cured with experience when the player is clever (aka no McGee type). with a bit of seasoning the game slows down and things become easier. He is after all a very good but young player with limited highe level minutes. Mediocre and average games where he gets stripped a lot will happen, he won't go Timberwolves game style every night.

Hayward is just playing for himself, dude is just passing when he is in trouble and padding stats. Burke is even worse, dude is undersized but is never passing the ball on breaks. The only guy who is really playing unselfish is Ingles, the rest of the team is playing very selfish... Thats one of the reason, why this team sucks... Thats just because our players, are so damn young...
When did Kanter become an above-average-starter-quality big? None of our bigs right now qualify for that.
