    Rubio's not garbage. But, he's far from the star that the media and Wolves fans want to believe.

    Well there it is . . . Price must be better than Rubio.

    Us Blazer fans are knowledgable fans, and our analysis of Rubio proves it.

    Statistically, Hickson is averaging a double double, he must be better than, I don't know, 3/4 of the league?

    Just saying'

    No I am saying statistically in the advanced categories. And as far as hickson is concerned; he is better than a lot of players; especially 3/4 of the league

    OK . . . I really don't care about Rubio anyways. Just when I see him referred to as garbage and worse than Price, I feel compelled to try to bring some reality to the situation.

    But whatever, if the analysis around here is he is garbage and Price is better and the stats show it . . . well I guess I will just say I think that is a wrong analysis and leave it at that. I've never really been into stat analysis and will not be good trying to give examples or arguing stats with someone. So i give up. :)

    I think Rubio is a glorified Sergio. But they both have the same shooting percentage.

    If you asked me if we should get him if we could for cheap? Absolutely!!!

    Sergio could never sniff a triple double if you played him 48 minutes a game.

    Gotta call bulllshit on this one. I'm sure if Sergio would have played 48 minutes per game he would have come close to a triple double on a nightly basis. You would have regularly seen him post games with 9 points, 8 assists and 11 turnovers.

    Rubio sure seemed to have more potential than Sergio, or maybe it was just more hype. The difference being that Sergio was a late 1st round pick (27th) and Rubio was a high lottery pick (5th). Because Sergio never improved, he as out of the league after his rookie contract. Does Rubio have a similar fate in store? Who knows, but the other PG David Kahn selected with a high lottery pick, Jonny Flynn (6th - where'd he go to college???) is already out of the league.

    Meanwhile, in the deepest PG draft in NBA history six of the next seven PGs selected are all starters with PERs above 16, one (Jrue Holliday) is an all-star and another (Steph Curry) should have been.
