Locke’s concerns

He was much better passing as the play grew more disorganized, which is why he did better in Minny and will do OK in Phoenix. I just never understood how he seemed unable to throw a freaking lob to Rudy. I think I could throw a lob to Rudy, Exum seems pretty good at it.

Hope you're not as impatient if Conley has trouble with it. He doesn't have any good history in Memphis with this.

The big guys he played with in Memphis were pick and pop players, not necessarily "throw it to the front of the rim" guys. His floater is top notch, so that would seem to be a strong indication that he has the ability to throw a lob.

I did find this:
 
One of the great mysteries in the league is Rubio's reputation for great defense. He has good size for a pg, I guess, but he always seemed to be getting worked by any player with a pulse. Whatever we lose in 3 inches of Ricky defensively will more than be made up for from a point who can actually hit shots.

This pretty much,

Rubio isnt bad at team defense, but he gets worked one on one.

Hes pesky sure, but he did get worked by the skeleton remains of drose
