Always going to be a tall order with Jokic and Embiid there. Rudy is never going to be an offensive gem or have the range of those guys.I think DM injury sealed his chances of making ALL NBA. Rudy deserves the DPOY but he gets pushed down to 3rd team All NBA because his lack of offensive ability. If he developed his offense more he would have a chance for second and maybe first someday.
Rudy is what he is - arguably the most impactful defender of all time.Always going to be a tall order with Jokic and Embiid there. Rudy is never going to be an offensive gem or have the range of those guys.
And that's okay - Rudy is what he is and that's gotten us this far.
This year he ended with a defensive rating of 100.5, and the next-closest, Simmons, was at 106.1. but behind him were 3 other guys at 106, with just the fraction being higher. Rudy does this year-in and year-out. It won't be too many more seasons and this point won't be arguable anymore.Rudy is what he is - arguably the most impactful defender of all time.
The best part imo? With rudy on the court the jazz are the 4th best defensive team in the history of the nba.Good watch
