Told you Rubio is not going to help us. He's a backup PG at best.

Agreed. There’s plenty of reasons for Jazz fans to question hit fit and his shooting. The poor turnovers and horrible shooting earlier in the season was distressing. It looked like a failed experiment. Now that they’ve upped the pace to his comfort level and his shooting has been MUCH better (especially his 3 pointers), there’s legitimate reasons to get excited about him. Last 5 games (including wins over Toronto, Golden State and San Antiono), Rubio is averaging 19.2 points, 6 rebounds and 8 assists per game. Clearly, something is clicking right now. He keeps this up and the Jazz make the playoffs - period.
 
Bringing this up from someone's past statements is very hard to analyze. It is easy to become hyped and proud of Rubio for his performance throughout the last half of the season and into the playoffs. It is also easy to see fans frustrations towards Rubio throughout the first half of the season. The future is always unknown, but I think its awesome when someone has the balls to speak their mind before the obvious happens. I also questioned Rubio in the beginning and in the middle. He has certainly changed my mind with his play of the last couple months. I think we are all guilty of saying things based on our emotion for that particular time and style of basketball we are playing.
 
I hereby promote Ricky Rubio to certified starter and quarterback of the Utah Jazz. May he continue his current success into the coming years.
