[QUOTE=Nastradamus]Rubio is a stud. Gotta fix that shooting percentage, but the passing ability and defense are elite. He can be another Rondo or Kidd. [B]He's a better passer than Rondo though.[/B] Rondo has probably never gotten a "hockey assist" in his career. Rubio makes the offense flow right.[/QUOTE]
Debatable. I think he's just a bit flashier than Rondo for the most part.
he's a more flashy version of rondo but lacks the rebounding and the driving ability of rondo. He's a solid point guard if you have other guys who can carry the scoring load
White man's Rondo with less rebounding
Only Ricky can play 34 mpg in a Playoff team with such scoring limitations. His elite passing and defense make up for that.
The Wolves look very good and their key pieces (Love and Rubio) are still young. Impossible not to be excited with this team:cheers:.
Rondo is more efficient, better rebounder, defender, higher IQ, and a playoff performer. Rubio is a poor mans rondo but flashier passer.

efficient?
[B]Rondo 2p% .499
[/B]Rubio 2p% .367
Rondo 3p% .241
[B]Rubio 3p% .367
[/B]
Rondo FT% .621
[B]Rubio FT% .807[/B]
if you believe in eFG (being a Wilt/Shaq type guy, I tend to think it's mostly hogwash) then Rondo has advantage there.
USG% dead even.
Rebounding?
Rondo 4.5 RPG
Rubio 4.6 RPG
huh.
Rondo is not better than Rubio is, at any facet of defense. He's had better teammates so his so-called advanced defensive ratings look better. He's not better on ball, nor off-ball, doesn't get more steals, nor is he better in transition D. Rubio has destroyed at least 2 4on1 fast break opportunities this season which is elite.
rondo higher bb IQ than Rubio is lulz
Assists
Rondo to guys like Ray Allen, Kevin Garnett & Paul Pierce: 8.3 - 11
Rubio to guys like (D-league 10-day contract) Chris Johnson, Wes Johnson & Luke Ridnour: 7.7-8
Rubio to guys like Kevin Martin, Nikola Pekovic & Kevin Love: 9.7 & climbing
And last: how do you know Rondo is a better playoff performer? Rubio's Wolves have not been injury free long enough to know what Rubio will be like in the playoffs.
So really.......... your post needs a lot of work.
When his feet are set he is actually a pretty good shooter. He hits a decent amount of 3's due to this and he is shooting roughly 90% from the line.
When he is shooting off the dribble is the problem. It is awful watching him try those.
