It's not a coincidence that Rudy is suddenly getting more touches, handling more and more opportunities while Jimmer is the PG next to him. This allows him to handle more, be more involved.
He has become a very efficient scorer for us. I think that's the Boogie Effect. We don't need his points so he doesn't chuck. And not trying to start an argument, IT is doing what I have wanted all along. When he is on the court with Gay and Cousins he needs to be a facilitator for them and not see himself as one of the Big 3. This is only one game so nothing can be concluded but I really like the way he is playing. Grant said he was on his way to a triple double which is absurd but if he keeps playing like this in the future, he COULD get a triple double.

For me it's not about Gay chucking or not chucking. It's about getting him the ball early in the shotclock with a live dribble and space, allowing him to facilitate and make decisions. I disagree a bit that Cuz and Gay need IT to be a facilitator for them. I think they just need the ball and both can facilitate themselves and due to that, I'd rather the offense is run through them which right now it is.
