Does Donovan hate Rudy?

Rudy in comparison rarely has the ball and passes the ball 4,5 times per game to Donovan. He has by far the highest usage on his team but only passes the ball 2,3 times to Rudy.
Saw the post on reddit and had to create a thread.

Re: Does Donovan hate Rudy?
Theres alot of times where Rudy seals a small inside and doesnt get the ball for an easy dunk. He looks pissed alot from it

Yes.
If you want to see something even crazier than the non-pass,

If the pandemic taught me one thing, is that if Rudy didn't covid, nobody would have. Like in the NBA or all of the United States.

Re: Does Donovan hate Rudy?
I really thought the whole beef thing was overblown before, but man, that lack of a pass there was something else. Either there's a beef or Mitchell is one of the most low IQ basketball players ever.

Re: Does Donovan hate Rudy?
Even with a man sealed how would anyone have confidence in Gobert? If it’s not a lob why pass it, I think that’s his reasoning.

I was ready to scoff at this on behalf of Jazz fans but that's actually really bad lol.

Because if you give a straight pass to his hands, he just dunks over the much smaller player.
I mean, to anyone who's like ever seen a basketball game in their lives before.

This breakup is inevitable. Passive aggressive shots one after another.

That's what I was thinking, he was at around 2.5 seconds, so it would have been at the border of a three second call as soon as he caught it. The passes per game is interesting though.

Jazz are funny. Great depth but two stars that aren’t good enough. Chemistry issues aside

Re: Does Donovan hate Rudy?
I’ve noticed this for a while now every time I watch Jazz games.
Rudy will get switched onto a guard & get deep in the paint calling for the ball — Afterwards, the perimeter guys (mostly Mitchell) will just play hot potato around the 3 point line until Gobert has to clear the lane.
This often leads to Mitchell chucking shots.
We can talk about Gobert’s bad hands & quirky mechanics around the basket, but it has to be a chemistry-destroyer when one guy has to cover up for everyone on defense yet they don’t even wanna pass him the ball on offense.
Contrast that with a team like Phoenix where as SOON as the Ayton touches the FT line on a rim run, they get him the ball.

Rudy is 29. He is still has value though so should trade them both. Start over. Should be able to get great assets and young prospects with those two.

How does that make you better than the Lin, Gallo, and Wil fans who root for them over NY?

Lol, worrying about a violation the refs never call is not a reason to avoid passing to Gobert for an easy dunk.
I mean, if that's the case, why even bring the ball past half court, you might get a charge called on you. Better to heave a 3 from beyond the center line.
