Ricky Rubio the Basketball Enigma

One more thing to keep in mind: he improves his performance after the All-Star game on a regular basis.
 
Ricky brings a lot to the table - more than he's given credit for. But the inability to hit open shots is a deal breaker for me. 2 for 12 or 0 for 8 happens way too often . When you shoot like that and play 30mpg it puts so much pressure on the rest of the team . In order to win it usually requires at least one player scoring way over his average (e.g. Jae last night).
 
What we really need is consistent Ricky.
In the month of December his FG% has been: .692, .500, .385, .478, .385, .400, .214, .500, & .000
Meanwhile, his 3P% in December has been: .500, .667, .250, .375, .000, .000, .000, .400, & .000

To make matters worse, he also changes his role depending on how he is feeling/shooting.
In December is FGA were: 13, 10, 13, 23, 13, 5, 14, 10, & 8

I imagine it makes it really hard on the other players and coaching staff to find a rhythm when Ricky has so much fluctuation in role and performance.
 
Ricky has shown us what he is since the start of his career, indicating that he isn’t any kind of enigma.
 
Ricky would be best in the Derrick Fisher role, a vet who can come off the bench when everything is going wrong and will calm things down. With shorter minutes, he can use his experience and energy to the utmost. In such a role, he would not be looking to shoot anything but shots at or close to the rim when the opportunity presents itself.

It did in '99.

If only Uncle Ricko could build that time machine and go back to 1999, he'd be an All-Star and the Jazz would've beaten the Blazers, then Spurs, then the Knicks.
