Rudy has no legs at the moment. I hope he doesn't play in the Olympics and gets some decent rest and conditioning into his legs and trunk. He just isn't anywhere near as nimble and explosive vertically atm.

He is tired. It's crazy that he is pretty consistent still even though he is young and tired.
WTF I am tired of using he is "tired" excuses, he is 23-freaking-year-old and he is not the only guy who played summer ball. He just had a week off during all-star break and he came back "tired", serious?

The French team played together for a really long time in the offseason dips*** His knee won't be right until he gets a few months off
Oh sorry I didn't realize the above-normal level of playing Gobert did during offseason. I guess the prime Dirk, Manu, Pau or Yao Ming must have forgotten about needing to take "months" off to get legs right after playing for national teams for years.

I would trade him for the # 1 pick but that's not gonna happen by the way he is playing. He's been somewhat of a disappointment this season. It was supposed to be his break out season.

Do people not realize he's likely still on one leg? This has nothing to do with olympics or the summer. Hood played basketball all summer... Games 7 months ago really aren't affecting him. JEBUS PEOPLE!!!!!

ummm you don't think last year was ?? This season was always going to be a challenge for him as teams started to scout him & figure out ways to combat his style of play.

i wasn't trying to link the two. However hood just played pickup ball and then summer league ? I am concerned that big guys bearing a lot of weight need extended periods of minimizing the pounding of full intensity basketball games. Go check how many games the French national team actually played, even lead up games before Eurobasket. And then how much time off before training camp ? In any even he clearly isn't close to full fitness so anyone moronic enough to say they're willing to trade him is simply ridiculous
