Even if they aren’t laterally quick the sheer length of both of them still makes things difficult if they’re active and extending their arms.

rudy has always been quicker on the perimeter than people realize. How many 7 footers can move like he can?

Earlier this season, the shotclock was at .7 seconds and Rudy sprinted from the left side of the point all the way to the right corner and blocked a 3 pointer. In 0.7 seconds...I was like wtf he can move that fast??

that's the thing that would drive me crazy watching KAT basically any other season. like, he's 7'0" tall, huge wingspan, maybe a little slow getting into place but he'd just swipe at everything. just go up tall Karl. thankfully it seems to have clicked this season and it's been awesome to watch
