[Game] Kings @ Suns - 11/4/15 - 6 PT, 9 ET

Rudy really is *** as a first option.


I still like him in that Robin role, but sheeesh.... He has been awful tonight.
He's a terrible 1st option when he gets the ball on the perimeter. He's much better when he has length on the guy he is guarding, and when he catches the ball in the mid-post area. Problem is, he won't be able to get a lot of these looks if our lineup is small on the side of big men (two small guards is fine) as well as if there isn't that much shooting on the floor.

It sucks that they have all types of guys who can match up against him. They have Tucker who has the overall size and strength to defend him. They have Morris who has the size and length to defend him. Then they also have TJ Warren who's on the lighter side, but he's lanky.

Not a good matchup for Rudy at all.

Could be why he played badly against the Suns last year.

This is true.

He tends to force it as first option as well though, it's more than just where he gets the ball.

But you make good points, the Suns do have his number.
