Ricky Rubio to make season debut on Thursday

[Hey Yo]

Said he's going to practice Wednesday and if all goes well, he'll suit up against Portland Thursday. He's going into his 12th season.

Doesn't seem that long ago when Cowherd was predicting him to be a complete disaster in the NBA. He couldn't quit shitting on him every show.

[Xiao Yao You]

he wasn't a disaster?

[Druckenmiller]

he wasn't a disaster?

He’s a disaster in the context of who was drafted ahead of him. And I would definitely say he’s been disappointing because he never really improved as a shooter or scorer and while he did a lot of other stuff we’ll, that prevented him from living up to expectations.

He’s been, I would say, a very average NBA player.

He should have never been a starter. His energy makes more sense off the bench

He was supposed to be the Original Luka Doncic. I think he was overrated in this forum because he made his pro debut at 14.

Not a scorer. Pass first. Low BB IQ. Nothing like Donic

Ricky Rubio is a good NBA guard, who makes his teammates better and plays defense.

He has never in his career had a season where his On/Off +/- was negative (weirdly, he has 2 seasons of exactly 0, meaning his team was no better or worse off with him). Basically, for his career his teams have always been better with him on the floor, sometimes by a lot.

He gambles for steals. Overrated defender. The Jazz were certainly worse with him than George Hill or Conley

Teams were never worse than him. Always better.

You can accept these facts or remain delusional.

Bold doesn't mean Rubio is not a good NBA guard.

I just remember him guarding Harden from BEHIND in the playoffs. That was so odd. Who's idea was that?

[PeroAntic]

Gotta love Xiao's double standards when it comes to Toody and Ricky:lol

COTM. It worked pretty well after they figured out how to do it properly. Problem was Rubio and Favors spotting up for 3 in the corner

what double standard? The franchise player and a guy that never made sense with that franchise playuer? :confusedshrug:

Everyone: Toody sucks.

Xiao: but look at his plus minus

Everyone: Look at Rubio's plus minus

Xiao: Rubio sucks

The Minnesota Timberwolves are 4-2 without Rudy Gobert this season.
The Minnesota Timberwolves have a record of 17-20 with Rudy Gobert this season
same logic no?

Everyone being trolls. The guy is an all NBA/ all 1st team D/DPOTY/Future HOFer :facepalm

I'm certainly not one that pushes +/-. At least pay attention if you're going to troll

I'll go by what he's done over his great career not 1/2 a season with one of the worst franchises in sports

yeah what else you can do.. im pretty sure Rubio shits allover gobert internationaly aswell

Spain is the number one team in the world with or without Rubio. Gobert is the best player to ever come from his country and has taken them to their greatest heights internationally. Not sure why we're comparing an all time great and an old school backup pg though :facepalm

Gobert carried lottery teams into the playoffs. What does Pau have to do with the greatness of Rubio? Focus please troll

You called him the best player and the old papa Sasol scores 40 on him in semifinal.. pretty low standarts, but no surprise it happen multiple times with ur boy

Gasol is a great player. It's a team game where every advantage goes to the offense. Gasol scoring 40 on Gobert might have been like Simmons scoring 40 on him on 3-7 shooting. Troll logic doesn't apply

Spain beat France as they were favored to do. Wilt put up huge numbers on Russell as well. Not sure what you're getting at
