Portland Trail Blazers new shooting guard Rudy Fernandez showed that his offensive game will make a smooth transition to the NBA again in the gold medal game.  He scored 22 points in his second game against the strong US Team.  His explosive leaping ability was on display with power dunks and significant hang-time for a 6'5" player.  His long range shooting was verified.  The quick first step and movement without the ball should be incredible as a number two to Brandon Roy and Portland fans are just now realizing what a player we locked down.

Nate has to be grinning.  He earned a gold medal his new shooting star earned a silver. 

Welcome to Portland Rudy!  We are singing OLE!
