What Does Ricky Rubio Deserve?

[Piff Huxtable]

Yall got Jones, yall good.

Shouldn't be crying breh, yall draft went absolutely PERFECT.

getting Wiggins for white Shareef Abdur-Rahim, drafting Towns and Jones

things are looking up in Minny

that Rubio contract was basically the only dumb thing they did in the last 12 months

Ricky isn't the reason we've been so bad breh

He doesn't really help either. He just kinda...there.

So the only thing left is what, to get a competent coach right

Ricky is capable of being the starting PG on a playoff team breh... His shooting is his ONLY liability right now.

Not just his shooting breh, his inability to consistently score and pose any kind of threat on offense.

It is literally 4 on 5 when the Wolves are bringing the ball up.

Again, not true. Before the ankle injury he was driving A LOT more than usual. Afterwards he went back to shooting jumpers. He never really was 100%. Ricky was playing some of his best ball before that severe ankle injury.

All right if you say so breh.

This reminds me of something else though. So with the Jones pick up, does this mean that Lavine is back to focusing on being a 2.

Shame yall didn't get Malone.

A ticket back to his home land

The Lavine at the 1 experiment is over (if no injuries )

The man is a 2 guard all day. check this

Vantage tracks a stat called Dribble Factor, which is a measure of the change in a player’s FG% before and after he begins dribbling the basketball. Essentially, it is a relative measure of a player’s ability to catch-and-shoot versus putting the ball on the floor. http://www.vantagesports.com/story/VV5ekyYAAOwJ1jPw/vantage-point--dribble-factor

Lavine is a better shooter spotting up and off the ball than with the ball in his hands. Watching him last year I would have said the opposite though but the numbers say he is MUCH better off the ball. Looks like wiggins will be playing the 2 a lot this year so that means he's coming off the bench.

Minutes are going to need to be regulated CLOSELY. All that dope youth needs to properly gain experience with each other.

Oh yeah, yall gonna say fukk Kevin Martin or what. I think he gotta go man.

rubio would be good if he wasnt one of the 3 or 4 worst shooting guards in the league

He still sucked when you compared him to the other NBA PGs,


Conley
Lowry
Curry
Rose
Irving
Lawson
Teague
Schroeder
Dragic
Westbrook
Bledsoe
Paul
Parker
Lillard
Wall


Are all better than him, and you can make a claim that Russell & Mudiay will probably be better as well. The Wolves have to see that he's not a starting level PG on a good team by now, and looking at your roster you're going to need a PG that can hit the 3 at a respectable clip to give Wiggins & Shabazz space and prevent teams from constantly going under the picks that Towns will set for him.
