In the regular season Rudy thrived as a rim runner. In the post season, teams sold out to stop it by switching and trapping all his ball screens. Minnesota has found ways to make teams pay for doing that. Biggest way has been keeping him engaged offensively and using him like France uses him. Getting him the ball on the short roll and when he buries mismatches under the rim.

It helps that they have a superstar that has turned into a willing passer and embraced his roll as a play maker. Something Mitchell struggled to do in Utah.
