Neither of them is a bad player. I actually think Rubio is better right now and he could probably start on a playoff team (would have to be next to a lights-out shooter). But its such a team-building limitation in the current environment when one of your guards doesn't provide shooting and spacing.
And yeah injuries is a big part of it. Damn shame.

Rubio would probably go #2 in this draft.

If Rubio or Rondo had a midrange game... Like really how hard was it for these guys to pay some 7ft stiff a couple of thousands to try to block their midrange shots for a whole summer.
Man I wish I could get an nba consultation job for player development

You want them practicing contested jumpers?
Rondo shoots at league average from 3 the past two seasons and his best asset will always be his playmaking.

Rubio is overrated to NT forum.

Yes, shooting against someone contesting your shot helps you get over the mental hurdle of shooting with limited space.
Edit:
It's one less thing for them to analyze. Essentially that shot has to become their best case scenario. I have a feeling that it's pretty much their worst case scenario after years of mental trauma

You drunk Bruh. Plus he's 28 now right...19 year old Ricky ain't going top 5 in this draft. Def not going before Fox.

Rubio (and Rondo at times) struggles even finishing at the basket. It's definitely mental.

16 year old Rubio, yes, 19 year old Rubio, probably not. Especially in today's 3 point frenzy NBA.

I think so too. He's a great veteran presence and can bring much needed defence. But if Minny fans were all up on his behind all these years, I can just imagine how bad the LA fans will treat Rubio.
I remember when Marc Gasol was a free agent, he wouldn't even consider the Lakers mainly due to how they treated his brother who helped bring them 2 championships.

i mean Pau was his brother
Ricky wouldve been welcomed with open arms if it meant shipping Deng on out
his role on the team woudve be completely different, team runs a completely different offensive scheme

Bruh I can't wait for the season. God I'm gonna be on y'all head.
Or will he be 2 years away from being 2 years away?

. He ready to play now. This ain't no Bruno type *****. If Isaac goes to Phoenix or Minny.....LOOK out! #JustWaitOn it
Side note: How many years away is Bruno now

I could see Rubio being a top level backup on a contender. Like a Shaun Livingston level player (not comparing their games).

Raptors mismanaging Bruno. He was their true hope, then Kyle Lowrey found his game and Derozan finally became somewhat of an efficient scorer and they just forgot about him.

Rubio was playing out of his mind the second half of this year. Shot falling plus the elite passing and above average defense. I'll take that any day.
