Re: Ricky Rubio agrees to join Minnesota for the 11-12 season

Can someone tell me what's so special about Ricky Rubio? I've never seen him play so I can't make any comparisons/evaluations on him myself. Is he a Rondo type of player?

Re: Ricky Rubio agrees to join Minnesota for the 11-12 season

You never seen him play at all? You should Youtube him bro. There are tons of clips out there.

I would say his style is similar to Rondo just not as fast or athletic as Rondo. He's more controlled but he can make all the passes as far as I can tell.

I don't know how he'll pan out really nor do I care to guess, but it's interesting none the less. I think with him, just like maybe with Rondo, it all depends on who surrounds Rubio.

Rondo has proved he can score a lot, Rubio still has a long ways to go to prove he can score in the NBA. At this point he's much more of a set up guy.

Re: Ricky Rubio agrees to join Minnesota for the 11-12 season

Booyeah!! Now I want to start a new association skip through the first season and head into the draft and see who I can get to support Ricky Rubio... If he can just play smart defence and make good passes I don't care if he averages 5 PPG... just as long as he is a better passer than Flynn and Ridnour.

I bet he bombs and doesn't come anywhere close to the hype.

Just a feeling.

If he lives up to half the hype I'd be shocked. He's to slow and can't score.

Re: Ricky Rubio agrees to join Minnesota for the 11-12 season

Honestly is there any hype left? I think after he didn't come over some of the mystique wore off as he played another year or so in Europe. People started to see that he is definitely still a work in progress and that it's extremely questionable as to how he would work over here in America.

I really don't think they hype is there for the kid anymore. Not to mention even when he was being hyped when he first got drafted, it seemed like it was split 50/50, one half saying he'd be Pistol Pete the other half saying he'd be a bust because he couldn't shoot, was not athletic and was weak defensively.

I for one can't see him being any worse than a Luke Ridnour. But yeah he was picked high so I guess he does have raised expectations. I am pulling for the kid because I like the way he approaches the game. Seems like a true quarterback and floor general. That's somewhat lost these days.
