Rudy at range?

IMO unless he is adding a 3 pt shot (highly unlikely) then he is better off working on post moves. A hook shot (#1 imo, for him a reliable sky-type-hook shot would be as unstoppable as it was with Kareem, who really built a top-5 career on that move), spin move, push shot with either hand, reliable up and under, etc. will bring more bang for the practice buck than having him shooting 15 foot jumpers at all.

After he has solidified that part of his game he could work on a little jump shot at 10-12 feet. That is all he really needs, to be able to hit that when he does get the ball in that range, which shouldn't happen much if our offense is moving as it should (should really generate more alley-oops, dunks, etc. off assists for him than anything else). I really do not want to see him jacking up 20 footers unless he can really hit them at that range (40% or better), which is, again, highly unlikely.
