punish the Clippers for playing a lineup that had no one over 6'8. You will never see a team lineup a 6'8 center vs Joel Embiid or Jokic. It will just never happen.
And yes, if you have over five inches on a guy (and a lot more than that in reach), you should be able to at least get your hands on the ball.
The problem is that Rudy has zero offensive moves--even against guys that are 6'4. So it makes no sense to get him the ball. If you can't get him the ball a foot from the rim, why even try?
