Rubio's very promising, but like Jennings a couple years ago, will look less good when he stops hitting threes at such a high rate.
Lamrock wrote:Last season Luke Ridnour was by far the Wolves' second best player. Firing one of the league's worst coaches and hiring one of the best, adding two top 5 draft picks, and actually playing defense are the reasons for the Wolves' early "success". Sounds crazy now but if they get rid of Beasley, Utah falls off and the Grizzlies struggle without Zach, they could be in the hunt for the 8 seed this year.
Rubio has enjoyed a strong start so far, but once he hits the rookie wall (does anybody seriously think Rubio of all players can keep up that 44% 3pt clip?), Ridnour will be the clear choice at PG for Minnesota short-term.

but I reckon the team's playing better because of Adelman more than anything.

Has any player in the history of basketball ever made a teammate better?
