They're two totally different players and the NBA has changed radically. Eaton could bully people with his size. Fouls didn't get called for light to medium contact. Now fouls get called if you just brush a player's jersey.
But anything that makes Rudy feel like part of the Jazz family is a positive. Look at how much Exum looks up to Ingles (was his first autograph). I'll bet Rudy has a lot of respect for Mark. So if he can learn just one thing from Mark, whatever that may be, it will be worth it.
You know, after watching the highlights, Eaton did have a serviceable hook. And perhaps he can work with Gobert on developing his strength so he can block out on rebounds.
