Rudez is just 5-for-25 from beyond the arc over his first six preseason games.

Analysis:

Rudez improved the effort a bit by going 2-for-6 from the three-point line in Tuesday's exhibition contest against the Timberwolves, but has overall been disappointing thus far. After making 43 percent of his three-point attempts during his time in the Spanish league, Rudez had been deemed "one of the best shooters in Europe," though this has yet to translate to the NBA game. The Pacers brought him in on a three-year deal to help alleviate their outside shooting concerns from last year, but if he's unable to get it going soon, it may be tough for head coach Frank Vogel to find him minutes once the regular season arrives.
