No, but I will say that Rudy isn't too far behind Ginobili right now.

I disagree with it, but it was well thought out and I gotta respect that. (no sarcasm)

Do you have to win a title to be better than another player? Who is better? LeBron James or Ray Allen?

No, but Manu has proven himself in the playoffs to be a clutch player and has won several playoff games for them. I guess that was my point.

which is irrelevant to the question asked.
but no, rudy isn't better. rudy has spurts where he is equal to or better than manu is normally but manu is better defensively and simply better at this point.

Not sure if defense is what comes to mind when I think Manu.
Flopping? Sure. Defense? Nope.

i hadn't read that far when i replied. your clarification makes a lot more sense.
he definitely flops but is a good defender as well.

I think Manu will always be a better 1-on-1 player than Rudy.
However, I think Rudy will be a better team player than Manu.
This makes Rudy a better fit for us, IMO.

Compare their PER numbers and take a look.

I don't think the Ginobili comparisons completely hold up. They have a similar build and court awareness, both are really bright, and both are pretty athletic for their unimpressive frames. But Ginobili has a much better handle and can dribble through traffic. Much more effective at attacking the rim off the dribble.
Fernandez is a cross between Ginobili and Ray Allen. Every time he shoots anything close to an open shot you just expect it to go in.

You're actually right. I hate it when people compare white players to white players as if they're the same and yet I just did it. "Gugliotta has a lot of Larry Bird in him" comes to mind. And now I'm perpetrating this stupid thinking. Booooo me!

I still think the closest comparison is Drazen Petrovic.
Rudy is a better shooter and passer than Manu, and these are huge elements to Rudy's game.

Not yet, but he is better at this age than Manu was... I have very little doubts that he will be better than Manu in due time, and he will be a top 5 SG in due time as well... Him and Roy on the same team should be competitive for one of the best 2 SGs on one team.

Rudy has ice in his veins. The kid is not scared to take the big shot and expects to make it. The thing I really like about him is finding a way to contribute on the defensive end late in games. His quickness really surprised me.
Last night was the first night that I really thought he and Roy blended well together. Loved seeing Sergio in there during crunch time. Created some easy shots something Blake rarely does. You need your PG to make players better and Blake doesn't have that ability. I will give him credit for a clutch shot at the end of the game.
