Loved hearing that decision making is the big target for him. He sees himself growing into a big 2 guard it seems, obviously mentions his shooting too.
But decision making is obviously a big swing skill, whether that means attacking, shooting, or passing. He doesn’t need to be a playmaker but to keep the ball in motion, as of now doesn’t seem like the guy you want the ball staying with for more than a few seconds.
We saw what slow decision makers look like in the playoffs, Aminu and Moe, as much as I love them, always gave the defense a chance to get their defence set no matter what they unded up doing because they’d hold the ball too long. Passing lanes closed, shots disappeared, and driving lanes clogged. Made it very difficult for Dame and CJ because any opportunity created, was wasted, and Rupes seems to not want to repeat the mistakes if the past

Excited to watch Rupert this year. He seems like Schmitz’ mad scientist project.
Wonder how involved he’ll be this year as he definitely seemed like he gained more confidence in himself close to the end of the schedule last year.
