Why the Hell Isn't Rudy in the Starting Lineup?

Just want to say that when rudy was starting and kanter was injured and we were playing .500 ball I think we were playing a somewhat softer schedule for the most part. I might be wrong and don't want to take the time to check though.

I'm curious to know what teams we beat. I remember beating Chicago which was a quality win. What were the others though? Lakers? Sixers? Pacers? T-wolves? (Might have played them twice) orlando maybe.

Over the five games that Gobert started with Favors the team was +8 with an Offensive rating: 95 ppg and a Defensive rating: 93.4 ppg.

Winning with a 95 ppg average is an aboration, not a constant. We need to crack 100 AND have the defense.


Rudy and Derrick occupy too much of the same space. Derrick's jumper is gaining distance, though. One day, it could work. The Kanter and Rudy combo could work as well. I, for one, like the trio and advocate 30 mins a piece.

We should really worry about developing a better perimeter balance.

The point is it's a plus rating, better than our normal rating. That was mainly with Kanter out too, our offensive rating would've been better with him coming off the bench. Favors is shooting better on his jump shots than Kanter as well.

We do need better perimeter guys as well.

I think quin just wants to be fair to kanter. Rudy will be starting sooner than later, but I bet this is the last effort to see if kanter will wake up. Or they are shopping him. 24 and 17 should go a long way toward shopping him though, so theres that...

Sample size is too small. Schedule was also weak. Like I said, winning with 95 PPG is an aboration.

With Kanter back, Jazz have olayed Houston, GSW, aSan Antonio nd Cleveland. All teams who could win it all.

This. Rudy starting does not make us a team on the level of those top teams.

We have a d-league team shoring up the bench
 
Another variable is the play of Trey Burke. When Kanter was injured, Trey got uncharacteristically hot, and was making plays he hadn't made all year. How would our performance had been if that stretch had the normal Trey playing?

Boozer was the 2nd best player on a team that played in the western conference finals iirc

If your life depended on the Jazz winning one game and you had to choose the line up are going with Kanter as your starter? Just for funzies.
