As a Spurs fan I appreciated his professionalism
Great team defender. His lack of foot speed hurts him on the perimeter in certain matchups but he's good everywhere else defensively. He's long and tough so he can survive on the inside and his rotations were reliable.
Has surprisingly good court vision offensively. Doesn't always make the pass but he sees the court well
Should be a good fit on the Jazz. He's a plus overall on defense. Offensively, he's a tough-bucket getter, which will be helpful in the postseason. Should form an explosive bench unit next to Clarkson.
Rudy still performed well last year even though the rest of the bench was bad, especially after the All-Star break. Post-All-Star break Patty might have been the worst player in the league. Eubanks and Walker were inconsistent. Vassell slammed face-first into the rookie wall. There was also that stretch at the end of the season where the entire team would choke in the fourth except for Rudy. Ah, ugly times -- but not his fault.
Smart signing by the Jazz, tbh.
