That doesn't make sense. How is my performance in bed premature? What does that even mean? It's better to spend a couple of minutes polishing your insults than rushing in with the first thought that pops in your head.

I meant embarrassing.

I don't see how it's premature to call Rudy as good or better than Duncan. Almost every fan of the league would agree except jaded Jazz fans who are afraid of the success Rudy will bring us.

At this point, I can see Rudy being as good as Duncan in every aspect of the game except for scoring. He will actually be better than Duncan at some aspects: blocks, steals.

I don't know where he will go with his offense, but he will have to work very hard here, not only on skills but understanding. He's a defensive savant with respect to his knowledge there.

If I had to guess, I would say maybe one or two years at 17-18 pts./ game, which is still damn good, just not Duncan. So his prime: 17, 12, 3.5 ast., 3.5 blks, 1.2 stls, 58%, 70%.

That's on the low end of what I would predict. But thank you for at least giving Gobert more credit than most of the haters on this board.

I also see Rudy as being the kind of guy to take less money to build a winning team. Kid is competitive, hard working and a leader. The Jazz should expend every possible resource to help him reach his potential. Have him work with hall of famers across the board - Malone, Olajawan, Robinson, Mutumbo, Pippen, etc. These guys are from a different era, but he has that same transcendence potential that they all did.

Also, the Utah Jazz need to invest in a top of the line "Big Man" coach, in the same way that I'd like to see them poach Chip Engelland to improve our team shooting mechanics. The coaching staff is a good way to get an edge in a place like Utah that doesn't necessarily scream "Free Agent" destination. When you're looking at possibly investing somewhere around $40 - $50 million dollars per year into the front court, it seems prudent to spend a fraction of that on the best damn coach you can get to work with that group. Just my opinion.
 
^^Yep, Rudy will be on the Mount Rushmore of centers with those other guys when it's all said and done.
