Rudy's comments

We need Rebounding not more looks to Rudy. We have plenty of offense and will only get better during the season. Rudy needs to look for a title not all star status. Rudy you are already a star as the best defender on the planet quit worrying about self recognition and quit talking outside the locker room. It only hurts the team

My thoughts are Rudy should have developed a single post move and then a counter/variation off of that, at least, to say this.

Outside of a lob, he looks terrible 9/10 times with the ball in his hands longer than 2 seconds, inside the paint.

I agree...
 
Exum to Gobert will revive Gobert because he will have a PG actually trying to get him monstrous dunks and Gobert needs those. Exum to Gobert gets Exum on the floor and allows him to drive to the hoop. I don't give a hoot about Locke's anal ytics ,Jazz don't have anyone that wants to go to the basket all game long and Jazz need to attack the basket. Exum if healthy is ready to manufacture points because if anyone is looking ,the Jazz are pathetic on offense and in come Philadelphia and Milwaukee who will dominate Utah on the boards.
 
I have no problem of Gobert wanting to get points down low when no one else can score in the paint. Jazz need points in the paint or they won't make the playoffs.They're gonna take a whipping from Milwaukee and Philly.

I love Rudy but I hated these comments. Why say this in the media instead of talking to teammates or coaches about it? He does some things on offense very well, he's probably the best screen setter in the league and he has great gravity rolling to the rim and is obviously very good at catching lobs. But he also fumbles a lot of passes because he doesn't have great hands and is vey clumsy and awkward when he tries to post up, even when guarded by smaller players. He's been terrible from 3 feet or more outside the basket for his whole career. After breaking the dunk record last season opponents are understandably guarding him differently this year, they're keeping a man between him and the basket most of the time to prevent lobs and dunks. Not sure what he wants his teammates to do.

Aaron Baynes sets the best screens.

I have no problem with that either. I do have a problem with him making these comments to the press. I take 5-10 games off Jazz wins this season based on what this signals. I'm also not on team "make Rudy a statue" anymore. I no longer consider him untouchable. I like this whole team a little less after reading his comment. The Jazz have seldom been dysfunctional. This is a comment that I expect from a dysfunctional locker room.

I have a lot less hope for the team this year based on this.

Highest expectations for the Jazz I've ever had to middle of the road expectations in one comment. And one of my favorite Jazz players ever made it happen. I think I'm going to go downstairs and take his signed Jazz shirt off my wall.

How long is his contract? I bet we could get a huge haul in a trade.
 
People keep saying "He should have said this to the coach or his team mates." Who wants to bet he already has a bunch and decided to say it out loud?

How many times in your life were you afforded a second chance, by friends, family, or bosses at work, after lets say, making a mistake, or an error of judgement?

I'm not particularly saying that Rudy did anything good or bad per say, but I think you may be acting a little silly in regards to this.
 
We won't contend for a title if we run plays all night for Gobert. He is simply too limited offensively. The threat of a Gobert lob should be more deadly for us than actually throwing it all the time.

Gobert needs to know his place. The Sixers didn't run a ton of plays for Motumbo, but he was an icon for defense and rebounding. Do what you do best Rudy - play defense, rebound the ball, set screens and finish lobs occasionally.

And; don't complain to the press.
