SI article on Rubio

[Handlogten's Heros]

If Rubio can do 42/35 consistently, then we’re set. I think he can do better, but we shall see.

I was disappointed by his early season defense last year. Hoping that improves this year.

I think he can improve his shooting this is the first real offseason working with us... he's a smart dude and is learning how he can work within our offense. Last year he was playing with Spain... I think he's been here most of the summer.

I love Rubio’s game. He’s smart and he is a better defender than folks give him credit for. There’s a reason he kept getting cheap shots... he was getting under people skin all year.

He was in a horrible system. Has a smart coach now.

Rubio is here to stay! Planning on getting a jersey of his this season as well

I just came back from Spain, a lot of expectations there for my fellow countryman in the Spanish sports networks.

Are there a lot of Jazz fans in Spain because of Rubio? Or what NBA teams tend to have the most fans there?

Yep, teams that feature Spanish players tend to have more coverage and more televised games. The Utah Jazz has become the top in coverage, but not only because of Rubio. A repeated comment there is that it’s a very fun team to watch play.

Yamers should offer to buy you that jersey.

I figure this can go in here. Zach Lowe has Rubio as one of the "six most intriguing NBA players this season."

Also, I hope I don't get an infraction for posting this. Ricky went back into that Detroit game with this gash and we won 11 straight.

I'm not even sure the above picture and this one are of the same man.

Damn straight.
