right now, 29 points on 12-17 shooting (3-3 3pointers) against the Pacers. wonder what his ceiling will be once he gets comfortable in the NBA.
Even Stro Swift can break out for 25 points and 15 boards every so often. I remain unconvinced. His coach once had to bench him because he was playing too soft... this is a humongous red flag that has of yet not been addressed.
he's had five straight good games since starting. not great (tonight was great), but good... http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/players/4136/gamelog
I see good things in his future. He'll never be a go-to-guy mainly due to his passive demeanor, but he could be a great Robin to somebody's Batman in the future, and maybe even make a couple of all-star games.
Good for Memphis. We are also doing pretty well with Battier. Gay might become a better player than him but Battier fits in with T-Mac and that's what matters the most for us. I still wish we had gotten the 24th pick from them but it's no use crying over spilt milk.
The one thing that always worries me about Rudy is his lack of assists. Today in his monster game, he records a grand total of zero assists. He can really be a black hole at times.
On my fantasy team, he has the 2nd least assist total out of all of my players. He hes only got Eddy Curry beat by like 10. Kind of sad. It's something he needs to focus on.
Beware falling in love with someone producing big numbers on a team that can't win. Memphis is already playing for next year, so a rookie scoring big in losing efforts smells like development to me... I'm not saying RG will or won't be star, just that he'll prove that question when he's playing on a +.500 team... Evan
He will be a good player in the league, that is certain to me, but I dont ever see him becoming a real leader. He's not a guy who is great at getting his teamates involved in the games, and spend a lot of time trying to get his own shot off. He will be an allstar, but he wont be leading the grizz to any titles, let alone to the first round.
don't worry Oden is coming... the rockets' time is now though...can't wait for Yao to come back and help this team out!
