I'm certain that in Coach Brad Stevens' system Rudy Rude could guard outside the paint..
Dude is nimble, quick-footed, slim but strong....and LONG......seems to have GREAT hands, too...dude was catching EVERYTHING thrown his way during that All-Star game......
I think it's just a thing of him properly ADJUSTING and being taught...plus having communicative teammates on defense...who does THAT in Utah - help Rudy out on defense?
in Utah they just depend on the Big Fella to clean up their messes....and they DO have some messes...who else on that team even DEFENDS outside of O'Neal?
Spydah had better patch up whatever misgivings he has with Rudy...dude's NOT a bad fella.....not a troublemaker.
If Utah lets him go they will rue that day forever. Mark this post. Rudy Gobert is NOT a lost cause.
