Walker Kessler Should No Longer Play Until KO is Traded

You’re living in the past , my question was , what would you realistically give up for Rudy as of right now ? What’s his current worth ?

If he is that good , why has rookie Kessler , that comes off the bench have more blocks than him ? Already has better hands and is getting better as the season goes on .

Rudy is and has long been avoided when he is in the paint. Guards shoot from further away, kick out more and drive to the rim less.

Kessler is being tested way more. They might start avoiding Kessler as well if he keeps this up.... which is a good thing if it happens.

Blocks aren't the best way to actually judge how good a guy is defensively.
 
Despite Kessler playing well, I'm afraid we may have a problem seeing an increase in his minutes. Heres why:

Ive stated that Kessler and Olynyk are tough to fit on the field at the same time. Hardy seems to think the same way, and thus they have only been on the court in 16 of our 25 games, for an average of 5.6 minutes per each of those games.

However thats not the real scoop that I found. Get this: Kessler and Vando have played together for exactly 0 minutes this entire season.

3 pointers and spacing the paint on offense must be so important to Hardy that he hasnt even tried those two together once.

True , but would you be wanting to be paying Rudy for what he is dishing up right now for the wolves , a huge 1 rebound the other night .

I don’t get why Kessler comes under such scrutiny in his rookie year , Rudy couldn’t catch the ball for his first 3 years , I guess some would say he still can’t … this young man can

Man, if you really dont know why Kessler has more blocks than Gobert than you really have no ability to critically analyze a basketball game.

Why did Rudy only have 1 rebound the other night ?

He has more blocks because his timing and coverage for a rookie has been outstanding .

You just look like a fool because you started this pathetic thread and have been shown up how many times now ? Your attack on sexton another example

Ehh, if I'm wrong so what? I'd rather be wrong and have the entire team be really good.

Rudy has less blocks because players do not go at Rudy Gobert the same way they go at a rookie. Gobert also rarely tries to block shots and instead tries to position himself to make players do what he wants. Hassan Whiteside had plenty of seasons with more blocked shots than Gobert. As a Jazz fan it's wild that you are acting like raw shot blocking numbers are the holy grail for defensive among bigs.

He had a 1 rebound game because he had a bad rebounding night. If you want to argue that the guy who has been a top 5 rebounder the last 5 years in the NBA is a bad rebounder, go for it bud.

So you still haven’t answered the main question , if you were to trade for Rudy right now , who from the Utah jazz would you give for him ?

Go , you’re on the clock

The more blocks argument just shows how poorly you understand defense in the NBA.

How many years in a row did you watch teams make fun of Rudy in the playoffs ?

That shows even more how much you do not understand team basketball. You might as well turn in your fan card if you can't see what's happening on the court.

I don't want Rudy back but to bring up a 1 rebound game like it is even close to being normal is pointless.

Teams went small against him , how many years in a row do you want to watch the same horror movie , the defensive juggernaut that Rudy is that’s why DA traded him ,

And oh what success he is having at wolves , oh but it’s someone else’s fault or another players fault oh it’s the coaches fault … broken record

LOL Mitchell and everyone else were turnstiles on defense. Mitchell even admitted he played no defense with his "they finally called me out on not playing defense" comment on the cavs. But sure, it's Rudy's fault he can't go 1 on 5 on defense when everyone else refuses to even try to stay in front of anyone. Can't believe anyone still believes that steaming pile of ********.

So you obviously a player fan not a team fan ..

Ask Terrance Mann how many he put on Rudy … Dallas plying small ball

I guess you wanted to keep the family together and another early 1st round exit .
 
Gobert is averaging basically career lows in every single statistical category. He’s not going to make the all-star game for the first time in 4 seasons.
