Does anyone else like Rudez?

Because I do.

I like the way he plays. Smart, high IQ basketball and can make some really nifty passes.

Not being a homer but I think there's some potential there. He just needs to get better defensively.

This is what we have become... a board that makes threads about end of the bench guys on bottom of the barrel teams.

This wasn't made in response to the Boston game

I've been paying attention to this guy

He's got a good IQ and can really make good passes, along with the shooting talent

He'll have one game where he makes smart plays. He'll have another 10 where he's throwing the ball all around the gym and looks horrible. So no, he's not high IQ. Although I'm sure Frank would disagree because he's choc full of veterany goodness.

He's not an NBA player.
11/18/2017 - I have officially disowned Nikola Vucevic and branded him a loser.

- Skal Labissiere was my guy in 2016 pre-trade. Whoops, but I still believe.
- Malik Monk was my guy in 2017. Whoops(?)
- Mo Bamba was my guy in 2018. TBD.

I like Rudez. I see him all the time at Publix. Nice guy.

Hate his game. He has the lateral quickness of an elderly woman crossing the street. His stroke is pure, but his defense is Dleague

I like that he is always upbeat and clapping for teammates and seems to be a good locker room presence. That's better than most of our veterans we've signed.

Stops there though.

Look, Dude only makes $980k and for that price, he is pretty good. He definitely better than some guys on the team who make a helluva lot more.

If you guys play NBA 2K on iPhone. Rudez is kind of an ass kicker on it. But in reality, he's a 11-12th man. I loved him in the Clippers game where he played hatchet man with Deandre Jordan.

he is like 12# man in rotation, but great lockerroom guy to have. I remember him from his Croatia days, opponents fans would chant " big nose " to him and he would own it by waved them and smile lol.

In the official fan section we chant "RUUUUUUDEZZZZZZ" every time he comes in or does anything. We could tell Mario hated us at the start of the season because of it haha.

He can make threes and he's a nice guy... that's about it. The severe lack of athleticism prevents him from doing anything other than shoot open threes. I like him as a human victory cigar, but we didn't really get to use him as one this season.

He definitely can shoot and understands basketball. Physically he is terrible and unfortunately that's a death sentence in the NBA. Also isn't he like 30? I don't think he has potential anymore...
