He reminds me so much of Nico. He’s probably a year ahead of where Batum was as a rookie on defense and a year behind on offense. His work ethic is legendary, though. I think he will eventually be better at both. That’s high praise, I know, but he was in the Green Room for a reason.
Nico could pass… haven’t seen anything like that from Rupert yet
We picked the perfect time to get a G League team
That escalated quickly
It’s crazy to see this stat line when he looks like a baby deer out there when he plays nba minutes.
Cant wait for a year or two from now when he really gets his NBA sea legs and we can throw him, Toumani and Matisse out there for a defensive death lineup.
All his minutes so far have come in garbage time when its essentially pickup. Id like to see him get Murrays minutes eventually if Murray is gonna keep being invisible.
He hit some big shots in the 4th!
I would say he still has a while to go, but I definitely can see why the FO picked him and what they see in him
LETS GOOOOO I LOVE IT!!! So glad he is getting reps and reaching his potential out there. Maybe there’s a chance he can get burn on the main team after the All Star Break? Get as many reps as possible Rups!!!
His playmaking has been the biggest surprise for me. He can handle the ball better than I expected. I think hes gonna be a real good player in a couple years.
I know all NBA players would absolute cook G-leaguers. But 5/9 from 3 is very good and would actually matter in an NBA game.
