Rudy Fernandez is NOT a quality starter on a winner. No way. Th guy is a highlight reel player, a selfish one at that. He's simply not very good.
Even off the bench the guy is just looking to get HIS.
This is what I've been saying, but no one listens. Thank you! I've never seen this guy play well. He is over hyped for what he did overseas but that's it.
He is not over hyped for what he did overseas, maybe he was over hyped for that dunk in the Olympics... but he was great in green while in Europe (Joventut wears green).
He hasn't had the chance to play consistent minutes under McMillan, you can't blame Rudy for not playing. He still managed to break the record for more 3's by a rookie in his first season.
Portland might not be the right environment for him, McMillan is a "turrible" player's coach, but the kid has made the most of the few chances he's got. I'd like the Celtics to get him, though it's unlikely.
I'm looking forward for the World Championship in Turkey. Scariolo will trust him to play 20-25 minutes and he'll play great.
And about reality check... bring back Toine!!
