Ricky Rubio is "loaded with Utah Jazz DNA!" He thinks he can stay healthy, improve his shooting and decision making......and take the Jazz to the next level.....IF WE CAN GET another 3 point shooter like maybe that Cook kid from GS! He's a Duke graduate and he's improved his shooting by hanging with GS the last year!

You must be Rubio's dad. Loaded with Jazz DNA? Yes, if "DNA" stands for "Do Not Attempt."
Good gawd, he had a career year 2 yrs ago at 41.8%/35.2%. That's career BEST and it's still not that great for a guard. Last season he regressed to 40.4%/31.1%. That's in a contract year when you'd think he'd be motivated to work hard on his shot. And sorry, I just don't see Ricky lives up to his rep as a great defender. He also had his lowest steal avg in his career, marking his 3rd straight year of decline. What makes him think he can improve his shooting if he hasn't dome so in 8 years? Sure, he's saying those things. He's in the market for a contract. But he's in for a rude awakening.

Call up Jason Kidd, the only player who manage fixing a broken shot that late.

If you want another 3pt shooter why not start Royce next to Donovan. Team gets bigger, defense improves and O'Neale shot 48%/39% last year.

Nobody has mentioned the kid Cook from GS! Is he a possible player in the Jazz scheme of things or not?
