    OHHHMMS= Rubio will be awful
    DaDakota= Rubio will be a good/great player


    When it comes to picking a side: Is there anyway to get out of this lose/lose?

    after watching some of his games it looks like his passing and smarts will get him over the line to be considered a starter or 6th man eventually but his height and athleticism just wont be compared to the pg in the league. also he hasnt showed how he'll perform with the ball in his hands and creating, since the euro game the pg is more of a facilitator

    I am just going by what Coach K, Kobe Bryant and Jason Kidd and the rest of the NBA players said after facing him.

    But I am sure OHMSS knows more than them.....NOT !

    Didn't Coach K and Chris Paul also rave about that speedy Chinese point guard after the US stomped CNT during the Olympics? Nobody heard anything about him since.

    The current NBA game is so much more about being able to put pressure your man 1 v 1. Its not unthinkable that a slow and physically weak point guard who can't shoot or finish can succeed purely on his passing, but how many of those have you seen in the past 10 years? The only half-decent point in the league right now who depends purely on his passing and leadership is a 38 year old Jason Kidd, who frankly would be much much worse if he wasn't on a team stacked with other offensive weapons. If you want me to be excited about an overhyped lottery pick who may end up as good as a 38 year old point on his way out of the league, then I guess we'll have to agree to disagree.
