It would seem most Mudiay opinions posted in this thread arent really up to date..
First off Mudiay had a way bigger leash than is remotely reasonable at this level of ball because the Knicks were atrocious, and compiled some big statlines in the process -- there was plenty of ugly nights too.
He's a strong defender, that is understated! strong frame, not really like Exum at all, they arent necessarily redundant, Mudiay is much more natural taking it to the rack..
MUDIAY does struggle around the rim tho, dont be confused, he's no d mitchell.. He has great potential not in this area tho, he is limited, he's not baron davis he's far less explosive...
Honestly Coach Fizdale did nothing short of a miraculous job last year with Mudiay, it is QS duty to keep the progress going. No way Utah signs him if not for all of last seasons progress..
Good luck to him! If QS can integrate him to the system he should be better off for it moving forward.
