This sounds uninformed ...guys play in the olympics and world championships ,european championships and NBA and still someone will think they dont live in the gym.
Rubio is in the wrong system playing for Snyder but you don't hustle all game long if you don't spend time in the gym

Favors the gym rat? I like Rubio's odds there more. Mitchell doesn't count yet. He's still riding the draft honeymoon. I'd say Gobert, Neto, and Ingles are for sure.
Since the dislike function and neg rep seem to have gone away, I dislike this post.I am taking a vacation from posting, for a variety of reasons. Just to say that much of the criticism I have received is spot on, though there are some misunderstandings about me and my intentions. I hope to start posting next year and put my hostile feelings behind me and forgive all the posters I have argued with, notably Archie, Numby, Crappy, even Franklin. No reason to get all upset about this. In the end, it's only a game. There are more important things in life.
Just to close, I think I told you so, about Rubio.
It's funny how similar the deals for Al Jefferson and Ricky Rubio were.
-taking back a large multi-year deal and sending back little/no salary
-Minnesota enjoys addition by subtraction
-Utah gets worse by adding a player that has a reputation for being a good player but has a number of catastrophic flaws
Can we just make it a point to not do a deal with the Timberwolves when they leave one of their stars on the curb for pickup?
I would also like to add that I was one of the only voices loudly opposing the Jefferson acquisition and in the minority opposing the Rubio acquisition. Not to Eenie Meenie y'all too hardIt's funny how similar the deals for Al Jefferson and Ricky Rubio were.

This is good to read. What's disconcerting about Bricky is that as bad as we think he's been, his current stats are about at his career averages, with the exception of assists, which are lower. Assists can be discounted due to pace and style of offense (slower and other players like Mitchell are also driving the offense).About Rubio:
“We understood his perceived deficiencies when we traded for him,” says Snyder. “We feel like he’s eager to improve and he can improve.” Snyder sees room for growth beyond his shooting, though. “The biggest thing we’re working on is his tempo,” Snyder says. “He’s so fast with the ball, but speed is not the answer for everything. If he learns how to change speeds, slow down at times, that makes his faster moments even faster. It will help his reads. It will get him in a better position for shots for himself or for others. I think when you see that, just the subtleties of working on tempo and angles, you’ll see that those things will make him a better shooter too.”
