Rudy's offense

Utah has proven they can win with Rudy exactly as he is, even with tons of room to improve our offense elsewhere. Even if Rudy doesn't improve offensively at all, if Utah can increase production from the SG/PG and bench, we are going to win a lot of games. I just don't see Rudy's offense as a big concern. Much more worried about the offense coming from the PG spot. It would be nice if Rudy could average 20 points a game, but even if he's around 10-12 PPG, I think Utah will be a force with increased productivity elsewhere.

In other words, Rudy is a badass as he is and we don't need improvement to love the guy long time. I get that, it's a given. My question is regarding how he can develop into something more. I have no clue about bball mechanics, footwork, shooting form, etc. but something about him seems off and EASILY fixed (with a lot of repetition from a damn near world class athlete).

Yeah, I just called Rudy a damn near world class athlete. Not world class as in D-Will I'm world class athlete I aint' losing no damn dodge ball tournament but the dude has all the tools there to be in the discussion. I think he can develop his screen and dive game into something special but it's going to take something I cannot pinpoint. Maybe Goose can chime in.

But teh offense is the most important thing. But spacing and stuff..
 
Isn't Okur an ambassador for us? Just have him work with Memo and one of the developmental coaches. If he can become a pick and pop 3 point specialist he will be a deadly weapon. Channing Frye couldn't shoot threes up until a few years in the pros.

Get that pansy ***, goggle wearing long socks and short shorts stuff out of here. Sky hook. . . His go-to move needs to be jamming it down with brutality ripping the damn rim off of the backboard and handing it to the ref while the security dude signals for someone to sweep up the glass and put in a new backboard. Well, that and an offset free throw line jumper. . .

All he needs is a FT line jumper. We've already seen he can get to the hoop with one dribble. But he needs to make defenders pay if they play off him. That's what makes Boogie so tough to defend.

And no to the 3. One of Rudy's greatest strengths is offensive rebounding. I want to see him around the hoop all the time.

Yup. If you told me he's gonna develop a 20 footer, I probably wouldn't be floored. Sky is the limit for Rudy

I'd be floored. He struggles with his mechanics (from a consistency standpoint) on FT's.
 
Gobert is a righty that prefers to finish close to the rim with his left. Clearly there is untapped offensive potential there. I have no doubt he'll be at least be serviceable.
 
If he could develop nothing more than a baby hook turning left or right say out to 10-12 feet, and that is really not a tough shot to master especially considering he has already shown ability with his off hand, he would be formidable. There is no one in the league currently who could realistically even bother a shot like that from Rudy. No need for anything fancy. Get stronger in the upper body, add a little hook shot, and boom 15 ppg is well within reach. 15 ppg, 14 rbg, 4 bpg, 3 apg = MVP candidate.
