Rubio: "I see myself playing the finals with Utah Jazz"

[JFFR]

Agree with Handlogten. I got down on Ricky early because of the stupid TO's. And it seemed like he was overrated as a defender.

Like HH said, two different players from beginning of season to 2nd half.And if an old guy like Ingles can improve his shooting so much over 3 years, there's no reason to think Rubio can't hit 3's at around 38%.

Back in January my opinion of Rubio is that I wanted to dislike him because he shot so poorly and that hurt the offense, but he just played so hard and had so many hustle plays that I couldn't dislike him.

I anticipate that it won't take him until January to find his shot next season.

I would argue that the Jazz offense wasn't really functional as a whole until January. I'm not sure it was a Ricky problem as much as it was a Jazz problem. That seems to have been fixed quite a bit.

Ricky was a big part of the issues imo... not all his fault of course it is natural to think there’d be a decent adjustment period.

What were Rubios shooting splits last year? Weren't they similar?

Will Rubio have a third year of slow shooting early in the year and pick up towards the end?

If not what changed?

Slow starts, getting in shape towards the end of the regular season + playoffs.

If he stays consistent with those numbers, we're golden.

But those numbers aren't consistent: 35, 50, 35, 54

Well, that's why they call it an average. If his "slump" months are 35% we should do cartwheels, especially if he has hot months of 50%+.

I'm not complaining about Rubio. He does enough stuff per my taste even without shooting. But he's kind of an inconsistent shooter. I hope fans stop overreacting about his shooting numbers and stop counting him in and out as a core member based on his latest shooting %s. The guy is good.

Whatever. He’s going to be going up against Klay and Steph next February in the three point contest.

From 3, Rubio shot 35.7% in January, 50% in February, 35.7% in March, and 54.2% in April.

He was 59 of 141 from three for 41.8% over the last 40 games.

He's also a .385/.325 shooter for his career and shot .354/.313 in the playoffs when the Thunder and Rockets schemed to let him shoot (FGA up from 10.7 to 13.2, 3FGA up from 3.5 to 5.3).

Not saying there wasn't improvement, but I would need to see it continue to feel good about a long-term deal, particularly with the roster as currently constructed.

You're an award winning poster. So it must be legit.

He didn't suit up against the Rockets. So GTFOH.

41% from 3 post all star. The guy is deadly from 3 when left open. I went to the GSW game and called nearly every Male and miss from him and the rest based on shooting stance. You can tell when these players get to their spots, and they are figuring out how w help from the coaches.

Also, his ts% was decent pre and a great 57% post. You're better with advanced floor stats so tell me if I'm wrong that his mid-range game was pretty damn good.

^ now autocorrect is sexist. Male is capitalized but miss isn't. *make*
