hes not, hes at the bottom of the top 10 cp3 rondo russ dwill nash parker kyrie after that you can make the case for ricky. I can also argue for ricky over parker and nash, mostly because of defense.
As you seem to use current numbers and stats... http://insider.espn.go.com/nba/hollinger/statistics/_/position/pg And look who is ahead of Rubio? Lillard?! Dang a rookie got scoreboard so far this season on Rubio. Shocker!
Yeah I was looking at his numbers. Not very impressive actually. Any homer that puts stock in a player that shoots 20% from the field is showing their true homerism. http://espn.go.com/nba/player/stats/_/id/4011/ricky-rubio Another silly stat. In Rubio's rookie season; his PER was 14.64. Comparing that to Lillard's of 17.62; we can put this silly argument to rest
Sounds like your "Elite" level comment requires some statistical proof. If you don't have any; then it didn't happen. Thanks for playing. In the meantime; check out this amazing Analysis on Lillard as a rookie! A fucking rookie! http://www.nba.com/advancedstats/player.html#Damian-Lillard|203081;year=201213;season=r If only Minny had the 6th pick last summer. But if they did; they would probably botch it up again. Sucks to be a Minny fan.
we wouldve picked barnes, and use something besides PER for once its an overrated stat I dont just say that because of ricky, we have kevin love who PER favors very highly http://www.nba.com/advancedstats/team-vs-player.html#Timberwolves-vs-Ricky-Rubio|1610612750,201937;year=201112;season=r
Wow, looking at last season (Rookie Year); his clutch numbers are a joke. http://www.nba.com/advancedstats/pl...1112;season=r;splitType=clutch;splitValue=all If only he was as good as Lillard http://www.nba.com/advancedstats/pl...1213;season=r;splitType=clutch;splitValue=all
[video=youtube;BU2ipHGUigE]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BU2ipHGUigE[/video] what they dont show is his defense on chauncey on the other end new orleans pelican and just last night, the last dime to pekovic tied the game [video=youtube;0iPN0vVRyKw]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0iPN0vVRyKw[/video]
