    Actually, it shames me to say it, but I think Nikolokolus had it closer to the truth. Rudy got decent efficiency stats because he was active and got a lot of action. Batum spent 10 seconds out of nearly every offensive shot clot just standing in the corner watching the other four Frenchmen work. So his effeciency stats weren't all that great, but his highlights were enough to give us something to remember and think he had a decent game.

    But while Batum was out there 31 minutes and he was maybe active for about 15 minutes of that time. Rudy was out there 28 minutes and running around like a chicken his its head cut off 26 of those minutes. So I think Rudy had more to play for and just had more efficiency stats to pad with all the touches. Batum was the better player for the few seconds out of every shot clock where he quit yawning and then suddenly lit up these minor leaguers and made them look like little boys.

    Juan Carlos Navarro is better than Rudy.
