Rubio is still young and he is a good point guard and good in defense due to his length that lacks in other point guard. Well, in order for us not to make a lot of argument here about his capability let us just watch him in the coming regular season.
The thing is scoring is what will make you a star in this league, and that's something Rubio has been lacking these past few seasons.
For the eyes of the many you will be a popular if you are a good scorer but when it comes to real basketball every placer has its unique role and in order for a team to progress you should stick to your role throughout the game. Rubio is another good example of a point guard who manage to make good plays down the stretch, if he is not good then he should be out of the team already.
Look at mike conley, this guy is underrated by makes history because of the contract he recently signed with the memphis. They could have gotten a few younger players to add to their squad. Their core is getting older season by season.
Yeah his contact is a bit of a joke. But also it (contract) got impacted by increased salary cap as well.
Can't blame them because they know better than us, we are just watching him in the television but the organization of memphis know conley on and off the court.
hmm you could look at it that way...BUT contracts are deserved on the court, correct? i can easily name 10-15 or even 20 players who deserve a contract like that more than him
and nowadays because of all social media, tmz, etc. we (general public) also know if something bad happens off the court.
