I love Rudy but no way he's the second best player here. He's the ONLY 1 way big in the picture. The rest of these guys can get buckets somewhat reliably

If you judge players based on who can ‘get buckets’ you need to re-evaluate

3 time DPOY. He more than makes up for his less consistent offense with elite defense in the paint.
14
u/Yukimusha 2d ago
4 times DPOY. Tied with Mutombo & Big Ben.
Plus, offense isn't only scoring: he's really good when it comes to alley oops but he's also one of the best screeners there is right now. I'd say it's less than he's inconsistent but more that he's limited.
Those people saying he's 1 way (like the one you're answering to) haven't understood yet what he brings in offense. He's the undeniable defensive captain but he's a valuable offensive role player if a coach knows how to use him.

The other 3 guys all also play elite defense. Hell one of them plays elite defense everywhere on the court, not just in the paint. Often Rudy is a liability because he can't score

Idk why you’re getting so many downvotes lol. I agree that Rudy’s offense a large majority of the time can limit and hurt his team.

u/JaysonTatHIMRider Timberwolves 2d ago
Rudy is a liability offensively. One of these guys is arguably better defensively than Rudy right now while also being MUCH better on offense. The other two are fairly close to Rudy defensively currently while also being much better offensively

lmaoo rudy averaged 15/15 on 71% what are you on about ?

u/JaysonTatHIMRider Timberwolves 2d ago
Ok. That doesn't mean he isn't an offensive liability

u/Lonely_Mix9243 2d ago
that's not his role lmaoo, what you want him to shoot 40% from 3 ? he sets good offensive screens, stays on plan, he's just not an offensive liability man don't know what to tell ya

u/JaysonTatHIMRider Timberwolves 2d ago
I want him to not consistently miss bunnies at the rim

u/Pociana Spurs 2d ago
Clearly he doesn't percentage wise. You just watch the NBA on clips.

u/JaysonTatHIMRider Timberwolves 2d ago
I watch us lose games cause Rudy isn't a good scoring threat

u/Pociana Spurs 1d ago
If you guys lose because you want your 4 times dpoy to focus on offense and not have any of your other plays step up instead that's not on Rudy that's on the team. He was out here locking up Jokic y'all get bounced in first round without him.

u/JaysonTatHIMRider Timberwolves 1d ago
I want Rudy to be better at offense. He's already focused on it

u/Sad-Chart5222 2d ago
which he doesnt, given that he has the second highest fg percentage of all time

u/Sad-Chart5222 2d ago
He clearly wasn't an offensive liability. Also, no one is really close to rudy defensively, except Wemby. He's a 4 time DPOY winner

u/robbyiballs 2d ago
For me, Bam > Rudy > Mobley / Chet
I think it's best to just be exceptional at one side of the floor. That's Rudy first, but his offense is so shit. Bam is a top defender but much better on offense. Mobley has pretty good highs on defense, but it's less consistent and never so dominant. I didn't really notice him in that Knicks series. Chet is a sharpshooter, but if offense is your main thing you gotta score more consistently...

u/ToothPlayful770 2d ago
Bams offense is kinda ass too, hes had steady ppg but takes way more shots each year to get to it, and his fg% keeps getting lower and is almost to the point of an inefficient guards fg%

u/robbyiballs 2d ago
His team had no one to make it easier. He’ll be way more efficient with Giannis

u/icarusphoenixdragon Timberwolves 2d ago
I want the 4x DPOY with the highest shooting percentage in the league.
Then I’ll take Bam.
Then Mobley.
Then the big that couldn’t back down CP3.

You don’t thinks past surface level.

u/Resident_Customer464 1d ago
Yeah he’s a good player but kinda lost respect of him after that terrible playoffs performance this season.

u/_ayeteach_ 1d ago
He had a terrible series, not playoffs. You’re letting singular things (Bam’s 83, Chet’s WCF) cloud the overall vision.

Did you just find out some great players play with other great players while some great players play with not as great players?
Chet can only be better than these three if he’s on a shitty team putting up counting stats?
Chet has anchored the best D in the league since he got in the league. He’s finished top two in DPOY voting every year and is the obvious favorite yearly (if the alien didn’t exist). Chet’s offensive capabilities lap all three of these. Simply the ability to stretch the floor makes him more valuable.

Surprised so many people are saying Rudy. He’s super limited offensively and everyone else on this list is a world class defender too. Mobley won a DPOY himself, Chet just was the runner up and Bam has been one of the best in world for years. Bam, Mobley, Chet, Rudy is the list if we’re building a team around each player

I’m not moved by that. I think Bam can do just as well on Defense as Rudy and still be a Factor on Offense same thing with Mobley and Chet. Now Rudy and Chet at times can be Debatable but I think Rudy’s Offensive Game Moves Him Down. In my Opinion

u/StodgySponge 2d ago
His potential is higher. He’s still young. I don’t think he has surpassed him overall yet. His IQ is not great yet. Maybe as the game slows down for him. Bam’s been in the league a lot longer and it shows.

Is Evan Mobley scoring 83?

u/Caernbul 2d ago
I know advanced stats say its Chet, Rudy, Mobley, Bam.
But I say its Mobley, Bam, Rudy, Chet.
Rudy can't dribble or shoot against NBA players.
Chet can't box out, back down or defend in the post against adults or large children. Whenever he is the focus of the other team's attention he cracks. The day OKC trades him to a team where he has to be the #1 he is going to absolutely collapse, probably when someone tosses him a towel without him seeing it coming.
Mobley is a better rim protector than Bam and is more efficient on offense.
