Point Guards

Elfront;
Pau Gasol fue mi otro jugador favorito; Bueno, mi primer jugador favorito fue Juan Antonio San Epifanio Ruiz, "Epi". Fue mi gran ídolo del baloncesto. Tengo 45 años.
Me reconozco en lo que escribes sobre Rubio.
Un abrazo.
 
I agree with this. I also dont know why people claim him to be a good defender. He has been terrible on defense. He can not stay in front of anyone in this league this season. I think people equate effort to being good at something.

The only thing Rubio seems good at is running the offense, dribbling the ball, and getting things set up.

Individual defensive stats are never perfect, but he is top ten in defensive real plus minus so far this season. I don't think he's terrible on defense at all.

EDIT: top ten *among point guards*
 
Jeje pues un abrazo para mis compatriotas que andan por aquí.
Y a ver si con un poco de suerte no vuelve a salir un bobo como el que leì el otro dìa llamandonos mexicanos a los españoles.
Un abrazo grande

PD: Mi idolo fue villacampa y el gran Corny Thompson

My eye test says he cant guard anyone and can only try and play the passing lane. His defensive stats look good because he plays with Gobert.
 
Clear clear course, his statistics also looked good when he played with Nikola Pekovic or Darko milicic.
He has always been a starter with both adelman, sam michell, flip Saunders, thibodou square head and now with Snider. and he has always been TOP in assists and defending. And I do not say it, the statistics say.
Obviously it replaces your physical and lateral speed with anticipation and intelligence "and more after your serious injury" which is what does not enter your head.
that he does not have a physical and power like the African-Americans already we all know and there is his virtue.
But good, to continue with your witch hunt that when the good streak comes after the all star "and it will come", I will read you here splashing the walls with your masturbations: P.
I already leave you in Spain it's time to sleep.
A pleasure to talk with you

No te olvides de La Bomba, vaya jugón! Lástima que dejara la NBA..
 
Rickey has never been a great defender, but he has been worse with Utah.

To the people saying Ricky is not a good passer, and a PG should have 10 assists surrounded by shooters. That may be true, but it is hard to quantify under Quin's offense, which is not built for a pure PG or a PG to get a ton of assists. Ricky's assist numbers have dropped dramatically after he was traded, even when he was playing great last year. I watched a ton of Minny games, and I can say with confidence that Ricky can't play his best ball under this offense. Dante and Ricky look good when they start creating outside of the set offense. For a long time, Exum got benched for doing that, so he more or less passed and went to the corner. Now he is being allowed to create more and it makes him look a lot better. I don't think he is much different as a player, he is just being allowed to play to his strengths.
For me it's not so much the lack of assists that make his passing underwhelming. It's all the bad passes and turnovers.
I mean neto has hardly played this year and I thought he looked like the better passer against Milwaukee (a good defensive team) than Rubio typically does.

Locke went through some lineup data... the Rudy Favs thing has struggled recently... I looked at the 5-man lineup data... starters with Jae are +13.8... starters with Favs are +3.5

If we keep Favs we need to stop dicking around... just start with our best lineup... use Thabo/Royce/Niang as backup 4s... or find another placeholder option.

Ricky might work well better if we stop screwing up the spacing with the starting unit.
Ya and the +3 is mainly just cause of great defense (not that that is a bad thing) iirc. I heard Locke the other day talking about our starters being horrific in the last 10 games or so on the offensive end.

That Toronto point guard tore him up in the first half.
