Depends on the sport. Golf tennis gymnastics etc. yes obviously younger the better. But basketball and football for example are probably the two with the most late bloomers
I think it has to do more with the times and the nba trying to turn big men into offensive linemen. Rudy is good dont get me wrong but hes closer to that Marcus Camby, Tyson Chandler tier than he is to Big Ben, Dwight, Mutombo etc.
I just watched the highlights which showed several plays of Rudy not on him giving up buckets getting caught in no mans land during the 2nd half. But i didnt watch the whole game so ill take your word for it.
Also KAT's deficiencies on that end cannot be ignored.
Guard him straight up him make him consistently score 40. He had some nice moves on Rudy but he had to work for em. Anyone else on him its way too easy. We all know he wants to pass keep his assists under 7 and force him to beat u by himself
Smh yall dont get it. If there is any player that you should be able to put on an island to guard a guy striaght up without compromising your defense entire scheme with constant doubling, its the dpoy who also happens to play the same position.
"but thats not what theyre trying to do they want...
