Ricky Rubio is a player whose value seems to be consistently debated. While virtually all fans seem to recognize his superb passing ability, a far amount of disagreement remains regarding Rubio’s defense, plus exactly what his offensive contributions equal.
Indeed, Rubio’s poor shooting is undeniable. While apparently improving, the ability to finish at the rim and in the paint simply isn’t there.
But is the passing ability enough to overcome the shooting shortcomings? Perhaps not on it’s own, but factoring in defensive ability, both one-on-one and in help situations, and his defensive rebounding prowess and things do more than even out.
