Without Rudy we'd struggle to win. His dominance just can't be replaced. He still is a bit pouty when he isn't getting touches but man does he control the paint. This year is a good example of symbiosis on a team level. We're much better as a whole than just the strengths of each part.
I hope some of the younger guys can become serviceable as interchangeable parts in the event of an injury. Conley's hamstring will give us an idea of what happens when we're missing one of our cogs.
Rudy anchors the defense. He sets a ridiculous number of (illegal?) screens to get our shooters open. He is a threat rolling to the rim and catching lobs.
He makes our system work a little more than any other individual player on the team and he does it in a way that there are basically no other players in the league who could fill his spot and do that better.
