Not to distract from Beasley and all, but why does anyone think Rubio will be good in the NBA?
Same reason anyone believes anyone will be good in the NBA. He did well at the previous level he was at.
Did/does well in international competition i.e. the Olympics.
Pretty sure I heard he is coming off the bench for his current team and averaging 7 pts and 2 assists a game.....
1. He was a starter
2. His ppg is unimportant, he has never been known as a scorer, he's a point guard who creates for others.
3. He averaged nearly 4 assists pg
4. He is still only 20 years old and has been playing against grown men for 6 years
He is still an unknown project. When he was wowing people in the Olympics he was a 17 year old in the gold medal game playing against the best players in the world. He was a prodigy, its now time to see if he will develop or if he was just a freak teenager and not much else.
