That's actually not a bad college team. National title favorites Rubio didn't have a great year in Europe though.

He has a point. Not sure why we haven't learned yet after all the Euro failures.

I would be incredibly happy with that.
Here are the players that have accomplished that stat line in the last 20 years:
Magic Johnson
Tim Hardaway
Rod Strickland (3x)
Mugsy Bogues
Jason Kidd
Andre Miller
Chris Paul (4x)
Steve Nash
Deron Williams
Rajon Rondo (2x)
Thats not a shabby group in which to be included

Not a starter..........................you really cling to this NBA basketball bs.
Rubio will be a starter in the NBA and he is not half as good as Navarro, and never will be either.

Did you watch any USC games the past few years? Pretty good player.
Legit 7 footer, great touch, and perimeter shot...very offensively polished.
The downside is he's painfully slow, can't jump to save his life, and is very unathletic in general. Despite this, he's not a terrible defender and pretty good shot blocker.
He measured out with a 7'5" wingspan in the combine and apparently has been killing it in workouts.
Probably has potential to be a better version of Rasho Nesterovic with more range.
I'd rather have him on the Sixers than Tristan Thompson or Markieff Morris.

Altho Rasho has been the butt of many jokes. I wouldnt be against this guy to pair with Spencer Hawes. Shows how desperate the Sixers need for a big is.
I really havent watched many USC games. Pac 10 conference games come on tv for me but usually too late. I'll try to watch then fall asleep or totally forget a game is even on. Last time I watched USC more than a handful of times was when OJ Mayo was there. I've read about his measurements and he's has some size and length to him. But tested terrible athletically. And you hinted he is painfully slow. But he's intriguing, checked out some highlights of his and he wasnt bad. Highlights are just that and really didnt see much in terms of his weaknesses. I wouldnt be mad if the Sixers picked him at 16.
I like Markieff Morris tho. Philly bias. Like the toughness.

Sports is entertainment and with Rubio around next year, the NBA became a little more entertaining.

like jasicabiges or w/e haha. That guy was a hilarious chucker.

One of the biggest bust in NBA history.
