What's new

Gays...

I love Rudy and think he's fantastic, but sometimes I wonder if we are hyping him up too much. playing devils advocate, what is the difference between Rudy and Deandre Jordan?

Mainly FT's. Also seems to have a better natural defensive IQ and a better offensive touch on things that aren't dunks. DeAndre Jordan is really ****ing good though, so I don't see how being DeAndre Jordan that can hit FT's is a bad thing.
 
I like this guys spunk

Spirit; pluck. Considering it is also a vulgar term for *****, it is rarely used in its normal form due to the obviously easy possibility to misinterpret it.
"That athlete shows a lot of spunk on the soccer field"
"What?!"
"He shows a lot of spirit and determination"
"Oh."
 
sorry yr fat now :(

Yeah it started at Uni.. I picked up some bad eating habits, wasn't playing much sports. Then when I was working I would sit in an office 8 - 9 hours a day, did nothing active over the weekend.


Plus I was living with my ex-gf at the time and she's korean so she's really into cooking, and was doing everything around the house, washing, ironing, etc. I was 80kg + at my heaviest back then.. just weighed myself and I'm 64kg now, so hopefully I can keep this healthy lifestyle going.

Wait, how tall are you? 80 kg definitely ain't fat.

Approx. 5'8" ... I think I was about 83kg from memory, according to the BMI chart I would have been overweight.

Defensive fg% allowed at the rim:

DJ: 49.3% (#63 in nba)
RG: 38% (best in show)


Edit: also, DJ: 26 years old, RG: 22 years old

Damn, really? I thought he was a lot better defensively than that. I guess he is more of a help defender than an anchor.

Rudy's length means he can just put his arms straight up and that deters players from attacking. Problem with DJ is he relies on his jumping abilities to block shots, etc.

Dude, Jordan is nearly as long as Gobert. It's not like he is undersized. He just isn't as good at position defense.

yeah, its true. he's tall and long as f, and has almost 30 lbs on gobert, with a higher vert. What he lacks is IQ, footwork fundamentals, motor (compared to gobert), ft shooting, age potential.... accent? I'll think of more, i'm sure.

I think the difference is the team they play for and the conditions.

Rudy was the perfect game for the young Jazz roster to shake things all around and give morale boost to them.

Jordan is not getting hyped any more than he already has been.

Also, Rudy runs the floor and shoots better.

Rudy also has a lot better IQ as he has been raised by Erman Kunter in European team Cholet Basket.

Jordan just looks like a bruiser compared to him in that aspect.
