Ricky Rubio / Eurobasket
- Thread starter NCJazz
- Start date
Guess he though team needed a 3 being down 20. Forget how weak Spain is at the wing position for this tournament. No Llull, Fernandez, Claver, or Abrines. 3rd place is not to bad right?
Huge props to Igor Kokoskov. That team is coached superbly... it's especially striking when compared to some of the horrendous coaches for other teams in the tournament.
Kokoskov should be somewhere around the top of names for future head coaches in the NBA.

I don't think so... he does that regularly. He sees ghosts around the rim and instead of simply finishing there he passes it.

As far as I know he's still coaching with us.
Spain's 2 big lineups finally caught up to them.
To be fair, a corner 3 by some players is better than a wide open layup by Ricky Rubio.

I hope not. We need someone to convince Dončič to say he won't work out or play for any team but the Jazz. Then we can trade our 24th pick and Alec Burks to Orlando for him on draft night.
Yeah, Spanish coach lacked flexibility in seeing this. Would have put J Hernangomez at the 4 and whoever was playing the best at 5. Give Vidmar some credit he played very tough defense.

I feel like Spain is hitting the end of an era, oh well it was a good nice run with a few titles.

He may want to play with Dragic though. But yeah, he would fill void left by Hayward nicely.

He's a poor leaper these days, or unwilling one at least. With so many wingspan freaks in the NBA these days they're able to recover and easily contest or block him.
Not sure about the floater. Maybe he is just more confident he'll be able to drive all the way and make a successful outlet pass to the corner.

Hopefully Jazz staff can work on a floater with him and his finishing.
That isn't the reason why. There are plenty of poor leapers who are excellent, or at least average, finishers in the paint and at the rim. It's not like Rubio is slow either. There are no reasons why he should be so bad in that area. And Rubio himself has an advanced wingspan ratio. He never officially measured in the combine, but he reportedly has a 6'9 wingspan. It's not like it's a Trey Burke situation where there are any obvious physical limitations.

I don't know if we can keep him for much longer. Head coaching jobs will be incoming sooner rather than later, IMO. People are starting to notice him and what he's doing...
Seems like his players love him too(seems like Dragic was considering retiring from the National team):
