Rudy

[MickZagger]

Do you think he would of thrived in Stotts system?

 

[HailBlazers]

Oh Fo Sho

 

[Samuel]

Yes.

 

[BigGameDamian]

I don't know. Didn't Rudy go to the Mavericks when Carlisle was coach and Stotts was the asst coach?

 

[BBert]

Yes if he hadn't already been ruined by Nate and Ariza.

 

[DUB]

Do you think he would of thrived in Stotts system?

Yes, as evidenced by Batum.

I don't know. Didn't Rudy go to the Mavericks when Carlisle was coach and Stotts was the asst coach?

No. Never played a game for the Mavs before he was traded to the Nuggets.

 

[MarAzul]

Far better than with McMillan

 

[BrianFromWA]

replacing Mo and Wright with Rudy and Sergio would be...interesting. Our defense, though seemingly impossible, would be worse. I have a hard time thinking they'd shoot worse than the current 39%.

Their passing would be awesome.

After Ariza cheap shot hin and he hurt his back Rudy was never the same. A long shot is done with the legs and back. But the old Rudy would have done quite well in Stott's system.

How so? Rudy already played in a Stotts like system?

When?

 

[jlprk]

If Patty is becoming a good player in San Antonio, then Sergio, who was better, belongs in the NBA.

 

[BigGameDamian]

When?

In Dallas.

This is exactly it.

Rudy was never the same player after that cheap shot from Ariza. Completely changed him. He also had back problems from that.

 

[Mediocre Man]

Fun offense/no defense? Absolutely

 

[Boob-No-More]

In Dallas.

Yeah, Rudy didn't do shit for Dallas. 0 ppg, 0 RPG, 0 apg and never made a single 3-pointer. No wonder they traded his ass!

In Dallas.

You really gotta learn how to use basketball-reference.com.

Or just read this thread where DUB already pointed out he never actually played for Dallas.

He thrived so well in their system that they not only traded him, they traded him PLUS Corey Brewer for a 2nd round pick.

That's a brutal trade.

 

[Boob-No-More]

And, the pick was top 55 protected! So, Rudy plus Corey Brewer for one of the last 5 picks in the second round. No wonder Rudy doesn't want to play in the NBA anymore. He's embarrassed.

Oh, you loved him when we had him.

Whoever made that should be banned from youtube. It's unwatchable. Pity.

You're getting too old BB . . . just turn it up and enjoy the music with a few Rudy highlights mixed in.

I must be. All I could see was blurred out footage, skipping and lagging, and random flashes and rays of light. I think there were some Rudy clips in there, but I couldn't make them out. At first I thought it was my computer. I'll make an eye appointment first thing tomorrow.

Not your eyes. Here is something short and sweet (and no weird black and white at the beginning)

[BBert]

That was fun.

Rudy was fun.

Nate didn't like fun.

 

[STOMP]

pre-Ariza Rudy was great. In fantasy land that guy would easily be the best player on Portland's current bench. Stotts + no ball hog (Roy was great but he was a ball hog) would have benefited RF's game too

Rudy would be good for an and 1 league but his terrible defense and need to take 4 to 5 of the ugliest shots in history a night would drive any NBA fan nuts.

His spinning falling down turnaround jumper in traffic is the stuff of Brain Boitano's nightmares.
