Rudy T, a special player. An icon. A champion. A Michigan man who made Milwaukee go mad. Will this be enough for him to get into the NBN Hall of Fame?

Arguments For Induction
- Defensive specialist with an offensive twist is the description I'd give Rudy T, as a guy who was unique in the sense that he was a very viable option to play both the 3 and the 4. Rudy had multiple years of 20/9 and even produced at the point of 11-12 RPG per season at some point while being a productive offensive player... and always 2+ stocks per game regardless of the position.
- The offensive twist? Rudy could SHOOT. For a guy who felt like he fit better at the 4 with a weak PF position, he really played like a 3 on offense and a very solid 3/4 mix on defense. He was incredibly productive from year to year as a consistent three point shooter at both the 3 and the 4, and as the career 44.4% from the field would show, really not bad.
- His contribution to the 2039 Bucks was an iconic moment in league history. Game winners, double doubles, and the team lead in points, rebounds, three pointers made in Game 6 of the Finals... in all reality, he was pretty important and I really wonder what his career would've been like had he been utilized as a score-first PF previously in what was very clearly an advantage because of his unique attribute set. He had a pretty good career, all things considered.
Arguments Against Induction
- Rudy never got the consistent starting run that would've made it possible for him to make the Hall of Fame. Simple as that. That's all it is.
- Outside of being a consistent All-Defensive Team level defender, he wasn't really anything overly special throughout his career consistently. High level rebounder for the 3 for sure, but is that Hall of Fame worthy?
- Slight turnover issues throughout his career. Not a super high level stock defender, not an elite scorer or rebounder. Very good at a lot of things, but not ELITE and that'll cost him.
Vote carefully, and remember to throw out arguments regardless of which side you're on. This should be a discussion that eventually gets the league to the proper decision on him. Your vote can also be retracted after it's been cast if you feel like switching to the other side based on the arguments that have been made. To be inducted, a player needs 70% and to be considered in a later class they need 50%. Vote carefully.
***BONUS - Don't forget that everyone who votes gets $100 and the person that makes the best argument or contributes to the discussion the best will be awarded an extra $100***
