right, lol:oldlol:

[AMISTILLILL]

I don't hate him but I don't think he's remotely worth the hype. He'll be a serious disappointment but still be serviceable, while Timberwolves fans will continue to gloat every time he has an above average game.

[outbreak]

Don't hate him and hope he does well. But personally don't see him competing for ROY.

[Yung D-Will]

How is this a good thing?
Let me translate they were impressed by his passes but at the first few days of practice no one was expecting his passes so they got hit in the face. But Now everyone always has their hands up waiting for the pass when they're playing with him because things like No look/behind the back passes are normal for him

[Yung D-Will]

In Adelman's intervew today he has no doubt Rubio will be able to defend the nba points guards the only problem he sees is he might get in trouble for using his hands on defense because of the transition from euro to the nba

This.

[Yung D-Will]

Early on I believe I heard Adelman say that he's gonna have Rubio shooting a set amount of jumpshots in the gym basiclly every day of the season.

[The Macho Man]

I don't hate him, just think he's gonna be mediocre to bad. Also, Steve Nash is a great shooter, so that comparison doesn't make sense.

I'm actually rooting for him. God know we need more white stars in this league!

i'm neutral. won't affect me if he does good or bad. def won't be rooting against him though, guess i'm kinda looking forward to how he does

[AMISTILLILL]

I still laugh when I think about the Timberwolves front office having people go down to the airport and chant his name/hold signs when he touched down. Serious douche chills.

Kevin Love said players are getting hit in the face because of Rubio's no-look pass bullets. :rockon: :pimp:

First of all, getting hit in the face would call for inaccurate passes. And No look passes make him no better than a regular pass. Just makes it more difficult and more chance for failure. SECOND. Look at these stats please.

2011 EURO: 6 PPG, 3 Assists, 31% Fg
2011 ACB: 5 PPG, 4 assists, 33% FG.
He is garbage and overrated just the fact he played at a younger age internationally people think he is a god. Those stats DO NOT lie.

He was just 20 years old at the time. Take any young prospect from the US to a team full of stars in the Euroleague and i don't think their numbers are gonna be much better than that.

He's young, talented and most importantly, a GREAT defensive player. He's gonna be really good in the NBA.

[LBJMVP]

im definitely rooting for him because it would be exciting to see a pg through all kinds of crazy passes

with that said, i dont think he will be competing for rookie of the year. im willing to do some kind of bet that he wont be. if he does and whoever i make a bet with remembers to bump this thread to remind me i said this then i will glady go through on my end of the bargain.

Ricky Rubio's defense seems to be his most overrated quality as he has earned a reputation for getting easy steals and his tough man-to-man coverage. I think a lot of his defense would fall under the category of what I would call the "Ellis Syndrome;" players who go for a stat, like a steal, instead of playing team defense. This is easily seen while watching Rubio play. His center of gravity remains high and he seems to play defense against the ball rather than his man.

[PyrrhusX]

Starting to dislike him now.

He hasn't played a game yet lol

[vinvin01]

I like Rubio, and I think he'll be a good player in the NBA (not a star, but a relevant player). But come on, don't say stupid things like "2nd coming of Nash". Fyi Nash is one of the best shooters out there, he's a very good 3-point shooter, is very good at the ft line, and can hit the mid-distance jumper. Rubio is just not like that, he's not a good shooter.

About his defense, he has really quick hand and he'll have some steals. I guess he's not gonna be strong and explosive enough to guard players like Rose, Deron, but actually who can ? He'll be an average defender, but not that bad because he's a smart player and understands team defense.

[LedBalls]

If he does well in the NBA, Euroleague won't shut up about it. :lol

[Shepseskaf]

Do you know who Rubio is? He's Tim Tebow -- a player with enormous hype, yet average to below-average skills. His fanatics are so happy when he manages to do anything positive that they react as though something great happened, though the reality is far from that.

If Rubio has a 10 point, 8 assist game early in the season, all we'll hear about is how his 'admirers' were right. Then by the end of the season he'll be riding the pine and we'll hear nothing from them.

Tebow is 7-1 this year and has his team in position to make the Playoffs. He's definitely no John Elway, but the dude wins games.

[skan72]

Kevin Love was clearly exaggerating about dudes being hit in the face. He was talking about Rubio's passes being so sudden and so on point that no one was expecting them. I've seen point guards like this before where the players aren't expecting that hard of a pass at that point.

Also, I for one think Rubio will be a star point guard in this league. He's not going to be like Rose or Wall, but he's going to be a game-changing point guard.

[Yung D-Will]

Wait lets just take a minute to admire the troll work Euroleauge has down. He's put himself in a position where he can go on an on about the fact he was right if Rubio sucks but if he's good he's gonna go on and on about how a Euroleauge scrub is a star in the leauge. His method is flawless

Damn I didn't realise that :(

Another thing about Rubio is that what he did at 15 was amazing, and only a moron would say otherwise. I've never seen a player being that mature so early in his career. But being the best player at 15 doesn't mean being the best at 25... I guess all the hype didn't help him. Let's just watch him play and see what he can do.

Btw it's so funny to see so many people thinking he's gonna suck, and so many people thinking he's gonna be a star. Damn does anybody know that there are not that many stars nor many scrubs in the nba ? Truth is most of the players are simply good players...

[Shepseskaf]

Ummm, no. His TEAM wins games, not him. In fact, the wins have come despite him. The defense keeps the scores low, so after Tebow has been dreadful for 95% of the game they're actually in position to steal one. With a lesser defense, he has a losing record and the experiment would be over.

then why was the team 1-4 before he started.
he is a key part of their winning.

[Shepseskaf]

He is one of the factors, but not the main one -- which is the defense. As I said before, it allows him to look absolutely clueless for the majority of the game before circumstances conspire for another miracle finish.

This can't last -- and it won't. Tebow is not an NFL QB. Stop quoting the TEAM's record as if he's the only reason that it happened. He will ultimately be shown to be a liability.

Orton was 6-0 at the start of last season. How did that stat work out?

I think Rubio's game will thrive in the NBA. He's going to be fan favorite too... assuming people actually get to see him play in Minnesota. :oldlol:

My bold prediction. Prime Rubio will be lucky to hit the level of Derek Fisher from this last season.

^how can you overrate Eric Gordon (who?) and Deandre Jordan (who???) and make a statement like that? SmH

[senelcoolidge]

Minny are you ready for Rubio's 7 ppg and 5 apg on 38% fg shooting. It's going to be awesome. The savior has come.

[KeylessEntry]

too bad the guy has to play in minny, that has to be just about almost the worst situation possible for any young point guard.

[Yung D-Will]

[paintingshade]

I really liked what I saw in those twolves scrimmage clips. he really has a way with passing, can't really teach that. AND he plays defense. he's like the complete opposite of brandon jennings.

[Fiba basketball]

He isnt eaven the best passer in Euroleagte ( Teodosic is ) and some people here are saying he has great passing . He cant shot , he has avrage passes and plays great defense . Nba is more offensive league than defensive so he wont be that good.

[Clippersfan86]

Game Winner on Clippers level uh? :oldlol:

Yea.. he can have 1 game winner on the Clippers. Doesn't mean he's going to be a better player than Fisher.

[Oositdwn]

Dude getting so much hate and hasn't even played a single Nba game yet. If he can ball great if not move on, it's that simple.

[Maga_1]

For a guy that never saw him play (ok maybe that Olympic game) you're pretty confident.

His stats were incredibly inflated because Barca's players carried him. he would have never even gotten playing time the way he played the last 2 years on most Euroleague teams.

He just had a team way over pay for him and then was so good that they played him and carried him and tried to justify their dumb spending for him.

Take away that money they spent on him and he never would have even sniffed the floor the last 2 years on that team.

[niko]

I think he's overrated. I don't see a complete enough game. Does that make me a hater?

[Euroleague]

::Raises hand::

He should have mentioned they were the ones at the drinking fountain, 18 feet off court.

Rubio has decent athletic ability. He's fast up and down and he has good jumping ability. He also has quick hands. His lateral speed is a bit lacking though, but it does not really matter all that much because of NBA rules no one can guard any point guards anyway.

Rubio is just very lacking in offensive skills, but I would not say he is non-athletic though.

[Euroleague]

He isnt eaven the best passer in Euroleagte ( Teodosic is ) and some people here are saying he has great passing . He cant shot , he has avrage passes and plays great defense . Nba is more offensive league than defensive so he wont be that good.

Actually, the best passer in Euroleague is Papaloukas.

[Euroleague]

I think Ricky will do fine, but those expecting him to put up flashy numbers will probably be disappointed.

I compare him to young Rafer Alston. He's basically the same player.

Alston eventually developed a somewhat decent outside jump shot when left open (something like Kidd finally developed last year).

If Rubio can develop a similar type of outside shot off the catch and shoot, then he can be pretty similar to Rafer Alston in the NBA.

[Yung D-Will]

Euroleauge three straight retarded post ... Must be a record

Rubio should never play for Barcelona,playing for a micro managing coach like Pasqual and their half court slow game hampered his developement.He thrives in a high tempo free flowing game.Let's hope the great coach Adelman will save his career.

He was best . He is old now . At this moment Teodosic is best passer.

Over/under 4 turnovers/game?

What's his assist/TO ratio this year?

[Euroleague]

He was best . He is old now . At this moment Teodosic is best passer.

Oh, so you are disqualifying him due to age? So only the young players and prime players then? So you are also disqualifying Jasikevicius (also a better passer than Teodosic) then based on age? Well, yes, Teodosic is a great passer, but sorry, he's not even the best passer in Euroleague, even if we disqualify Papaloukas and Jasikevicius for age.

Teodosic is one my favorite players, but let's not overrate him.

If we go by younger, let's say, current main players, then Huertas is the best passer in the Euroleague, not Teodosic.

[MASH Transit]

I actually think Rubio will be moderately successful. Depending on he and D. Williams development, the Wolves could be a force to be reckoned with this season.

Kevin Love and Mike Beasely both look great thus far. Solid pieces all around imo.

[billyhoe]

I don't hate the guy, however people here need to understand that some of us, primarily from Europe are quite familiar with him. I've seen him alot last year also in the Spanish league, and in the euro league. There were times that players just went off him, intantially to make him pull up a shot,something that made hin very insecure and in times made him liability on the court for coach, pascull ,in barcelona.he is more of an all around PG , in a way is game is quite similar to that of rondo. All of that been said, I do think he has alot of potential,All he needs is still work on his shot , and definitely spend alot of time in the weight room .

I acknowledge this but people act like Rubio at age 24 is going to be the exact same as he was playing for Barcelona and don't consider that he's being developed by one of the best coaches in the nba who's going to constantley get him shooting shots with trainers and already talked about wanting to see him bulk up

[Euroleague]

Huertas is a better passer than Teodosic IMO. As for Rubio, in Euroleague, as far as best passing Euroleague point guards (not in order)....


Jasikevicius
Papaloukas
Huertas
Spanoulis
Teodosic


To me those were all better passing point guards in Euroleague than Rubio.

Prigioni and Diamantidis are debatable, about the same level as Rubio in passing. I would put Rubio slightly over Zisis and Rodriguez in passing. Those are the 10 best passing point guards in the Euroleague IMO, if you count Rubio in the list.

So, I would rate Rubio's passing ability as somewhere around 6-8 among the 10 best passing Euroleague point guards.

why does it always have to be about hate. Why cant the thread title be Ricky Rubio Lovers, Identify yourself

[Eric Cartman]

I'm not a big fan. Just a matter of time before the league figures him out.

[Qwertyazerty]

Meanwhile in 14 NBA games he's 4th in steals per game, 8th in assists per game (5th in assist per 48 minutes) and 11th best rebounder among guards. In 31 minutes per game.

I agree with those thinking Irving is the number 1 candidate to ROY (he's incredible), but both are having a huge impact in their teams. I mean Timberwolves are 6-8 with a hard schedule early on, some easy games they lost because of inexperience and a lot of close games.
