I don't get the hate for Rubio. Dude is trash at scoring, but he is still a great facilitator and a defender. He is 6'4" in a league where all PGs are getting taller and taller. Dumping him and getting another mid level point guard is a risk. Develop LaVine as an actual ball player and hope you get good bench scoring and he be aight.

I'd rather have them focus on getting a coach other than Flip
you gotta be able to score to play point guard at a top level in today's NBA.

He a great facilitator and is a defender but the scoring issues cannot be ignored.

90% of Rubio's defense is gambling for steals

overrated as fukk

plus he can't shoot and makes about 6 million more per year than what he is worth

the Rubio pick set that franchise 5 years back

I actually think Tyus is the worst part of the team. Shows how Minnesota teams are still old school and hell bent on getting back Minnesotans on the squad. I hope he works out but I think he won't be shyt. :yeshrug:

he has a steep learning curve, Jay Williams kept saying they are similar players which was just stupid and untrue. he needs to learn how to properly set up an offense, you can always build off his jumper. but as far as running the O, especially when Wiggins and Shabazz's average handles they would need a prominent ball handler. i like him as a prospect but should get weened in slowly

Stop hating on Rubio :(, I hope he improved his jumper because he is a nice passer and a nice guy

Low key @tremonthustler1 can put the razor blades down now :mjpls:
High key I'm shocked at how closely they resembled a professional basketball organization last night.

Drafting Tyus Jones was the corniest thing they coulda did and I'm not even mad given the cost and expectation. It was the most transparent move and he still got his guy without selling the farm. Job well done.

The Towns pick was aight too :smugbiden:

They really don't. They say this stuff mainly to troll me for God knows what.

But you have to admit, longterm you'll need a PG that can shoot if you're going to have Wiggins and Bazz on the wings. Sure Towns can hit 3's, but you need another spacer.

If we're gonna have Wiggins and Bazz on the wings they're gonna have to learn how to pass. Otherwise that spacer will never see the ball anyway
