My favorite player is Ricky Rubio..
Jump Shot:Prominent [People might disagree here, but if you watch real game footage, hes consistent from 15 feet in]
Jump Range:Mediocre [Not consistent 3pt Shooter]
Outside Defense:Respectable [Will eventually develop better D, but will struggle with Quicker guards in his Rookie Season.]
Handling:Sensational [Great Ball-Handling skills, but can produce more turnovers then he should, but still great handler]
Driving:Strong [Can get by defenders with his ball-handling skills, In-out dribble, crossover, etc.]
Passing:Colossal [Already one of the top passers in the world at age 20. On any Level]
Inside Shot:Respectable [Can finish at the rim, might struggle with bigger defenders though]
Inside D:Inept
Rebounding:Inept
Shot blocking:Awful
Stamina:Average
Free Throw:Proficient
Experience:Strong [Been a pro in ACB since he was 14]

Nice thread. I like Rubio too, so I totally disagree with you OD. He was defensive player of the year in Spain 2 years ago I think - very quick feet and hands.

Thanks man. and Oh really? I did not know that about Rubio, pretty impressive. Maybe I should've made it a bit more higher. But I do think he will struggle in the beginning. But he is very talented, and has a great work-ethic so he'll develop his D in time. The ACB Spanish Liga A guards are a lot different from NBA guards so it will take some time for him to adjust. Derrick Rose, Brandon Jennings, Steph Curry, Rajon Rondo.. are all extremely quick guards who he will have to get adjusted to. I think it will take him a season or 2.

You'll see, he's exactly like Rondo, only his shot is better (although that's not difficult) and he's waaaay more popular before his rookie season :-P
I think he won't have that much problems, he's very, very quick and he's stronger than many PGs in the NBA. But I think he needs his time to ease into American BBall ;-)

I have to disagree with both of you.

I like rubio, but he has no consistent jumpshot. He is a consistent spot on shooter(both 3p and mid range), but when it comes to shooting on the move, he just doesnt have a consistent jump, everytime he jumps different and until he starts having consistant mechanics he wont be a shooter.

He is not near as athletic as rondo, he dribbles his way to the hoop and has excellent passing, but he also is not a good finisher around the rim. Below the rim guards have to go to peoples bodies to make them unable to jump, and need to be able to finish with both hands, rubio cant finish with his left and always has no confidence, so sometimes he tries to give a pass where there is none, or tries to finish over shotblockers giving them space to jump, instead of going at them.

not being as athletic will not be that big of a problem, like stockton or kidd, he has very long arms and quick hands. But until he gets a good defensive team and learns how to push quick guards to help defense he will have a hard time. What worries me is his inability to guard the pick and roll, even thow he excells at it on the offensive side of the court.

But as you can see all that just needs time and work, and he has the work ethic. But he will have a hard time, he will be called a bust, he will get homesick, and I dont know if he is mentally an physicaly tough enough to endure it.

I think his Jump Range would be legendary.
