Rudy with a jump hook...?

Is he can put together just one move like this he'd move into the top centers ever discussion, not just the best right now.

Having a move like this would make him a far far worse center. The field goal percentage for 10' hookshots going away from the basket is very low for everyone.

Very rarely has adding versatility to a star players game made them a worse player. Were you mad when Malone started shooting mid-range jumpers instead of relying exclusively on bulling his way to the rim? In fact can you point out a single example of a player adding a new facet to their game and becoming a worse player as a result?

Yes, you can pretty easily. Just look at any center like Rudy who in the past demanded post-up looks, like Andre Drummond and Dwight Howard.
 
I just dont know how anyone can look at that ugly *** move Rudy did against a guy who put up extremely casual post defense and still was able to force Rudy into a look that is 40% at best. Most NBA centers would have blocked this shot.

The only post move that matters for Rudy is deep position catch>drop-step>dunk

If he is guarded by center - ok, but if he is guarded by someone smaller (like Harden) and is a bit closer to the basket it coud be useful.

You mean one of the better post-defenders in the NBA?

You are never giving Rudy a non-paint touch post-up against anyone.

Adding a skill does not equate to "demanding looks". Also show the stats before and after Drummond added an effective jump hook that showed his dramatic decrease in efficiency. Otherwise STFU.

I think it would be great if Gobert added a post move, but my first reaction to this video was about this. It won't work against NBA competition.
