Start Dante for Rubio

Ricky's athleticism is becoming more exposed, great guy got a great manbun but his ceiling doesn't match Exum's and we have to wonder if Rubio's experience is greater than Exum's chance to be a game changer that Jazz lack right now.
 
I am afraid that Snyder is just going to stay with Rubio until his hand is forced to go with Dante. This Rubio injury may be the best thing that could happen to us so Snyder doesn't have an option but to go with Dante and Dante and Quin have to work through things and make the necessary adjustments. Obviously I don't want any serious injury to Rubio but for the betterment of the team, it might be best if Rubio had to sit for a week or so. It sounds like Rubio is just banged up a little so I don't expect him to miss much playing time.
 
I love this forum, but man, it's Dante Exum all day every day. Based on the amount of comments he gets (more than any other player including Donovan or Rudy), he must be the 2nd coming of Michael Jordan and Quin Snyder doesn't see it.

So, after getting this out of my system, the fact that Exum is playing well is so good for this team. At the very least this should push Rubio much more, since at times he's looked a little too confident he's the guaranteed starter.

Also, I want to remind you Rubio has had a pretty good month of december and he tends to turn a corner every 2nd half of the season, so you know Quin is going to respect that. That means we all should take a deep breath and enjoy the fact that both PGs are probably going to be instrumental in the Jazz going in a huge run to end the season with a high seed. Enjoy the ride.
 
The only reason I would consider this (and I love Dante), is if there really is something 'great' about Gobert and Exum playing more minutes together. Exum and Favors is a good combo... wonder if Gobert would deep down like to roll the dice on playing more minutes with X.
 
The Mitchell /Rubio tandem is getting serious eyes upon their play and their not getting a free pass anymore. Exum is forcing a reevaluation of whether Rubio/Mitchell tandem is good enough to win more than 50% of the games this season. Maybe Exum would do the same with his minutes if he played Rubio type minutes.But clearly theirs a different ceiling in their play. Snyder obviously favors Rubio as the starting PG but can this override a .500 playing squad that looks as if that's the ceiling with Rubio running the offense.

No matter who started and starts at PG from now on, the Jazz weren't going to be above .500 up to this point, and are going to be way over .500 the rest of the way. It's called strength of schedule.
 
[edited] watch the games Jazz were smoked many games ,this is not contender quality play and strength of schedule is a poor excuse. Shame when a tough schedule is used forgetting your *** was kicked bigtime. Jazz didn't have an "A" game when they loss fair and square.Rubio has demonstrated a ceiling and Exum is showing he just might have a ceiling we haven't witnessed since DWill.

This team's ceiling is the 2nd round of the playoffs until proven otherwise. That's not .500. At this point we are in a better position than we were last season. Our schedule has been brutal, it's a fact.

Imagine still thinking the schedule hasn't been a crucial factor in the Jazz' record so far when iirc they play 25 of their 41 away games before the half way point of the season and the combined records of the teams they played against so far is still by far the highest in the league lol.

Finally a voice of reason and not this “my boy is better than yours, I was right hahaha you suck!” nonsense.
The best scenario we could ask for is Dante knocking on Rubio’s door for the starting position. I saw Rubio cheering on a couple of good plays of Exum’s last night, he probably wants him to succeed more than all these fanbois..
