I don't see how that team could possibly compete for a playoff spot, especially in the Western conference.
First of all, he is considered a bad player in Euroleague. ONLY IN USA is he considered a good player. Secondly, Dragic is currently a much better player than Rubio. 90% of the points guards in Euroleage are better than Rubio is.
That is complete BS. Juan Carlos Navarro is at least a full inch taller than Rubio. Rubio is 6-3 to MAX absolute MAX 6-4 in shoes. If Rubio is 6-5 in shoes, then Navarro is a legit 6-6.
Sorry, missed that. I heard that he has grown somewhat in the last 2 years. And it always has been said in Spain that he has a 2'04/2'06 wingspan (that's about 6-8/6-9). Anyway, he's tall, and long.
Rubio is not close to 6-5. He's much closer to 6-3 than he is to 6-4. Juan Carlos Navarro is minimum at full inch taller than Rubio. All you ever hear from NBA fans is how small and undersized Navarro was. Well he is definitely taller than "6-5" Rubio, so obviously that news report, or the Kings, or both are lying. Rubio might be barely 6-4 in shoes, MAYBE, but he is closer to 6-3 in shoes.
You are insane... that line up would give up 130 points a night. Also, the only one worth a damn is Love. Beasley, Randolph and Ellis headline the "all hollow stats" club.
No, Navarro is no way taller than Ricky. Rumors say that he does not even reach his official size (6-3). I've been close to both and I can assure you that Ricky is taller, and I doubt very much that Juan reaches 1'90 (6-3). Don't know where did you get that idea, frankly.
Funny, because I actually have seen then stand next to each other and Navarro is at least an inch taller. Guess some people here are just trolling.
Juan Carlos Navarro NBA Profile -> http://www.nba.com/historical/playerfile/index.html?player=juan-carlos_navarro Height: 6-3 / 1,91 Yeah, clearly, Rubio is "taller than Navarro" and is obviously "6-5".
Rubio was 16 in one of those photos. This is my response for other ones: They look very similar in some photos. The point is that it's really difficult to distinguish a few cms in those type of photos. Ricky has also a tendence to go sligthly bowed, like Jordan Hill (this is because they lack chest considering the size of their backs), but in an official measurement, stretched, straight, he would measure better. Leaving aside that it's clear that his shoulders are higher (what really matters when talking about basketball). I'll still recognize that they look more alike than I thought... but keep thinking that Ricky is taller than Juanqui. -And like I said, I've heard that he has grown a little bit this last year.- BTW, good to know that, Deckard, but we all know him, I really don't care. If ever I'm wrong I won't have any problem recognizing it, even with him. But do not think this is the case. In no case I will go into a virtual battle of egos, I have better things to spend my time on. - 9 points Llull at the halftime. Must win game for them (or elimination).
LOL, if I had to bet, I'd say that "anchel" is another one of OHMMS' various internet creations - I would say hydra but he's ranging into snakes on a medusa head territory, so I'm sure he's having a nice guffaw about this one.
I don't know if Navarro is taller at all, but if he is, he looks to be approximately 1 to 3% taller than Rubio, not close to 100% taller. 100% taller would make him about 12'8'' or so.
I have no idea if Rubio will be the next superstar or the next legendary bust, but I sure am glad we'll finally get to find out.
