How good will Ricky Rubio be in the NBA?? - Raze Lupin - Jun 17, 2011 Ricky Rubio is coming to the NBA!! How good do you think he will be?? Explain your answer. The Minnesota Timberwolves had the worst record in the league at 16 - 67! Will he improve the team? Many people have him projected as rookie of the year! FIBA article on Rubio confirmation. http://www.fiba.com/pages/eng/fc/news/lateNews/p/newsid/47298/arti.html USA article on Rubio's future in NBA. Quote:The biggest concern about Rubio right now is that he is coming off a subpar season. He scored just 6.5 points per game this season, and he even lost his starting gig with FC Barcelona. Moreover, Rubio only averaged 5.9 points and 4.4 assists per game over the last two seasons. How good will Ricky Rubio be in the NBA?? - alen - Jun 17, 2011 I don't think he is the type of player for NBA. His long range shooting is horrible and also he is not athletic type of player. He will have to improve significantly to earn Wolves couple of extra wins. Chances of becoming a rookie of the year? 1%. How good will Ricky Rubio be in the NBA?? - nebodigatreba - Jun 18, 2011 He will choke... Eventually go back to Europe and officially became backup point guard for Victor Sada How good will Ricky Rubio be in the NBA?? - MaccabiTA - Jun 18, 2011 If you ask me, there's such a huge difference between the expectations and reality.. I believe he'd fail hard at least if you're expecting great things. His 2 seasons in Barcelona (especially the last one) proved that he's not built to be a starting 5 player in the top level or at least not ready yet. If Minnesota expect him to take them out of the mud and make them a regular playoff team then they're ridiculous.. But maybe they're the right place for him. If they'd give him time and credit than he might prove to be a good long-term investment, they're the right place cuz it's a small failing team with no expectations and he can focus on developing as a player (there's a lot to improve..) I really don't believe he'd ever live to the expectations from a 5th draft pick but with some time and credit he might become a pretty good player. How good will Ricky Rubio be in the NBA?? - Led00 - Jun 18, 2011 Hm, first thing that came to my mind: He is a kid! When he entered "Pionir" Arena, in Belgrade, to play Euroleague top16 match VS Partizan, and when he saw the fans and felt the enormeus pressure, he shit his pants. I don't think he has the balls for the NBA. He is a kid. How good will Ricky Rubio be in the NBA?? - Kenneth23 - Jun 20, 2011 I think that Rubio will be a good role player in the NBA. He's a very good playmaker, but he'll need to improve in certain areas. I think that he'll get the time to adjust to the playingstyle of the Wolves and the NBA. When will the Wolves give a press conference with Ricky? How good will Ricky Rubio be in the NBA?? - Black Urum - Jun 20, 2011 He arrived How good will Ricky Rubio be in the NBA?? - stefans - Jun 20, 2011 For me he is sucks.And overrated.. How good will Ricky Rubio be in the NBA?? - straight forward - Jun 21, 2011 In my account he's going to be one of the best point guards of NBA - IN THE FUTURE. Currently he's question mark, he can explode and he can be a shadow. Basically it's funny to listen the scepticism here - he's a fuckin' pure talent! I don't expect too many minutes in the first season though. IMO, Rubio is the biggest talent at the first position after Å aras in Europe. Give him a little time.

I don't expect too many minutes in the first season though. Pretty much my sentiment as well. I don't think he'll do much right away but I think after 2-3 seasons in the NBA he will be something special. How good will Ricky Rubio be in the NBA?? - Raze Lupin - Jun 23, 2011 I really don't know but I have a feeling the kid is a sleeping beast. I think he will eventually be a B+ level player. It all depends on his work ethic. He has the body and the speed. How good will Ricky Rubio be in the NBA?? - TeoTheGreek13 - Jul 1, 2011 He is NOTHING SPECIAL. Overrated as hell. End of story. How good will Ricky Rubio be in the NBA?? - theBasketballnet - Jul 30, 2011 I think he brings a lot of potential to a league that is already heavy on point guards but he can have a decent NBA career if he's able to bulk up in the offseason. How good will Ricky Rubio be in the NBA?? - Fivepack - Sep 19, 2011 He'll eventually be labeled another 'Euro Scrub' and most probably end up shinning the bench with his ass, or play some minor role as a second or third string guard. How good will Ricky Rubio be in the NBA?? - Raze Lupin - Jan 11, 2012 Looks like Straight Forward was right. Rubio dueled Rose last night (1/9/2012) Wolves vs Bulls. Rubio held his own against one of the best defenses in the NBA. Rubio had 13pts and 12 ast 4 rebounds 4 steals and 5 turnovers. The open NBA game suits him. The NBA/American transition game suits him as well. Rubio game is similar to Rajon Rondo and Steve Nash. I should add Derrick Rose had 31pts 11ast 1 steal 2 blocks and 3 turnovers Here are the game stats: http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/boxscore?gameId=320110016 How good will Ricky Rubio be in the NBA?? - stefans - Jan 27, 2012 Ricky Rubio is too forced player Last game against Dallas he played 46 minutes (almost whole game) and he has 17 points but with disaster shot 3-11 for two and 1-5 for three!!! |
