Rudy is a great player and having a better year than those guys but, they aren't
Far behind. Rudy just isn't a very good offensive player and unfortunately offense gets noticed more which will help KAT.

Harden may be carrying the Rockets on offense but Capela carries their defense almost as much as Gobert carries the Jazz' defense. Capela is right behind Harden in win shares. And, the Rockets are way better than the Jazz. Neither Gobert or Capela is making a large impact on offense. You could replace either with almost any big on offense and neither team would be affected much.

Switching isn't as important in the regular season and not really as important against most playoff teams. But in a 7 game series against the Warriors or Rockets who have the talent to exploit Gobert's weakness, it absolutely matters.

Two years in a row the Warriors and Rockets have been able to get him out on the perimeter and eliminate much of his effectiveness on defense. Capela is much more effective in those situations and because the Rockets goal is to beat the Warriors, a Gobert for Capela trade puts then farther from their goal.
