Rudy Fernandez's Pass/Aldridge's Mid-Range

[sketch_turntable]

a 61 for Fernandez's pass rating is way too low. He can throw some sick behind-the-back and bounce passes. Yes i know flashy doesnt equal good, but its better than a 61 for sure.

and Aldridge at 72 midrange...he is money from 15-18 feet and can even hit the 3 pointer now. He should at least be equal to David West's 79. His midrange is very similar to Rasheed's range...he's not quite ready for an 86 3PT rating though.

these should be updated in the first 2KInsider update for sure

[Problem-Chyld]

yea very true i was thinking about that too i watched alot of blazers games hes got a nice midrange game, hes as good as duncan from mid and they gave duncan 79,millsap and scola are off too

^^^ditto. rudy is a very good passer and he showed it in the olympics. and lamarcus will lead portland in scoring this year and his mid range shot is his strongest weapon at this point in his developement. he has 3 point range and will be taking a few more this year. lets hope he doesnt fall in love with the long ball like previous blazer big men rasheed and cliff robinson.

[Handz19]

They'll probably improve Aldridge, a 72 is still good enough to drop his mid if u know how to shoot wit him though, i don't kno if he'll lead the Blazers in scoring, i can't say yet, a lot of talent there

[MiXeD HaTz]

yeah if he keeps nailing the shot they will change it.

[Rashidi]

yeah if he keeps nailing the shot they will change it.

That's what we said last year. He got the same boost to mid-range that Shaq did.

rudy isnt a very good passer...he has tunnel vision and Im not even sure if he range will translate well to the NBA. He surely isnt an elite shooter or close to it, the guy is a slasher.

Indeed... Been watching him since the IBL and a few other leagues. Overall GOOD player. Young, hungry, and can slash like hell. He definitely has a few things in store for us.He was 5-8 from 3 land last night , but i still say DECENT shooter especially since he changed his shot to adjust to the NBA range. He'll turn in to his own player soon enough. He still has time to get sound with everything.

Actually, he's better. Duncan's mid is overrated.

All I know is when Rudy went up against team USA in the olympics, he showed he was a bonafied baller! Didn't they even run him at the 4 during that game? He's a GOOD passer.... maybe not a GREAT one, but definitely deserving of a higher mark than 61.

As for LeMarcus, you aint sayin nuthin that I haven't been preaching to my friends forever. Kid is a TALENT, and has so much potential, it's just sick. Great shooting touch, good set of post moves, decent/good defending ability and prowess...

I do agree with you about his 3 ball though. Even if he developes it to where he can hit it consistently, I really hope he doesn't fall in love with it... a 'la Sheed, Robinson, and also Randolph.

I bet yall Portland folks be missin Arvydas, huh? I sure do.

[sketch_turntable]

so after watching Rudy in the Blazers' scrimmage, he def. deserves a better passer rating.

he threw a perfect wrap-around behind the back pass on a fast break and then threw a bounce pass through the defenders legs that hit his man right in the hands. Neither were out of control passes either. He is creative, but seems to always be in control.

he very well could be Ginobili-lite (who has a 79 pass rating)

[R1cc4rd00]

I think Pau Gasol MID RANGE JUMPER is very too effective ! He makes every shot !

[sketch_turntable]

ok after watching Rudy play in 1 preseason game...i am ready to say he will be one of THE BEST passing SGs in the league this year.

[blazers09]

That pre-season game was great... Rudy is a beast.

Dude how ignorant can you really be?

It's obvious that you have NO idea what your talking about just by idiotic your post is. Rudy is a phenomenal passer as well as an outside shooter.

All Laker fans.. I swear.. All they do is hate.. Yet Sasha Vujacic is like David Hasselhoff in Germany to them.. ****in clowns..

please watch this video, 2K Insider, and then increase his passer rating to 80

I guess you are fomr Spain, because if not, I don't get how do you know so much about Rudy Fernandez. Would you mind to explain? :rolleyes:

[Xboxing2006]

As a Blazer fan I cosign. Rudy is a good enough passer to throw a lob from halfcourt so anything in the 60s is clueless. Also Webster, Aldridge, and Oden are too slow. I will say that Bayless is overrated in some areas and Aldridge like every other big man is overrated in close. The close shooting is more of a slider flaw but 94 is still high for Aldridge.
