Official Rubio Support thread

Jack Strop said:
He helps us lose as many as he helps us win. The guy is a middling PG, the same as he was in Minnesota. Second year in with Quin and he's gone right back to his flat shot. There's no excuse for him not to have improved over the summer. He knew exactly what would be expected of him and where he'd get his shots. I'm done with him and want to see "anyone but Rubio" at PG next year.

Rubio is a winner and needs to be appreciated. Dude is not the best shooter but is better than average in almost every other category. Do you really expect Ricky to be an all-star? He is a great addition to our team and helps win games.

How many winning teams has he played for?
 
Rubio is a great guy but not good enough to get us to the next level. Our offense is more lethal without him. Don't mind him coming off the bench with a home town discount. If not thanks Ricky, see you around.
 
Guys being quite clueless. Would we like a Lillard or Curry caliber PG on the Jazz, heck yeah. Well it turns out that you can’t have it all and as it stands now, Ricky is our best option at PG.
I still don’t think it’s a good idea for Mitchell to play full PG minutes.

If someone better comes around during the summer then great, so be it, Rubio begone. But man if he hasn’t become the punching bag on this forum even when having good games. Definitely under appreciated. I’m over the unnecessary and overboard.. criticism.

There is a lot of evidence to the contrary this year.

But we'll see, maybe he'll turn it on again. Still waiting...

It's rather telling that we can win at such a high percentage without a point guard. Imagine if we had a point guard that put fear into the opponent defense due to shooting ability.

Or DM at the point with a knockdown shooter at the 2


I have been wanting to replace favors with a shooting 4 but Im starting to think that's the wrong move. Replace Rubio with a shooter and I think favors will fit much better. And as a backup center he is the best in the NBA and it's not close.

All this talk about replacing Rubio without giving any specific names. A shooter... okay

The team has been quite good defensively with DM in pg and I think Rubio is fine, but because of status he has to start. I think we could pivot play DM with Ingles in the backcourt and add a wing/sg and maybe Rudy/Favs works a little better.

Sample size is small and against terrible teams, but we are 8-0 without Ricky this season. 4-1 without him last year... teams were terrible just an FYI... Just not sure how necessary a pg like Rubio is and think the cap space could be allocated better and I don't like that we are forced to play him in matchups where it isn't the best and when he is struggling.

We do need a really good reliable backup because I like having DM and Ingles on the floor at the same time and when we have zero pgs it feels like they get split up a lot.
