He shot 28/78 as a rookie at 36% which was super encouraging.
But then last year dropped to 16/59 at 27%

I would like to see how he plays. Its fine to have him as 3rd string and then earn more during the season. I'm also fine having Knecht or such in place of Thybulle and both Rupert/Knecht battle for 2nd/3rd string and the primary backup spot.

Rupert has earned the chance to try and earn a spot in the rotation. He hasn't proven he deserves one.
