Curry has skills but is too small. If he can add some muscle to his frame without losing his quickness and touch, he can be a really good player.
I think Rubio will be solid.
Here's a list of all the PG's in this draft people think are future studs but will be nothing more than role players in the NBA:
Stephen Curry - rich man's Eddie House
Ty Lawson - poor man's Raymond Felton
Ricky Rubio - scrub Euro with no future
Johnny Flynn - glorified Darrell Armstrong
Patrick Mills - rich man's JJ Barea
Darren Collison - won't be in the NBA very long
That's the future of all these overrated pussies that the Suns are probably gonna waste a pick on one of.

Rubio's Baja Grill Fish Taco Tuesday > Ricky Rubio
Ricky Rubio averaged 10 points and 6 assists a game in Europe.....imagine how ty he'll be when he's not playing against scrubs.
If the Knicks do pick Curry, though reports say they have cooled off on him it may be just smokescreen, he could really excel under D'Antoni. I think he shares more traits with Jason Terry than Eddie House. Curry can actually dribble the ball without having to look down and has some point guard instincts.
And I think Lawson will end up better than Felton.
Rubio has excellent court vision and playmaking abilities... great ball handling also... his defense is a little suspect and shooting is a big part he needs to work on.. but he's got tremendous upside and has played at a high level at a very young age... he will greatly improve in the nba I think.
A high level in Europe = a scrub level in the NBA
Darko Millicic played at a "high level" at a very young age boy that worked out well for the team that picked him.
Cannot concur. House can't create his own shot. Curry can and will.
You're right, cause creating your own shot in college automatically means you'll be able to in the NBA.
Darko could have been decent had he not been buried to the end of the bench from Day 1.
I will be eating crow than in a couple years or so than dok lol.. it will take rubio some time but I think when its all said and done he will of had a pretty good career.
They're identical, over hyped, undersized UNC players with extremely overrated athleticism and speed.
Hypotheticals don't mean .
Euro stats aren't comparable to the NBA.
Anyways, you're coming across really ignorant right now. Did you happen to watch the Olympics? Rubio was having his way with Team USA at times.
Worst case scenario for Rubio would be a much better scoring and defending version of Calderon. And that's worst case.
We'll see. If I'm wrong I'm wrong.
What he said... euro game really cannot translate to the NBA, especially when it comes to play-making abilities. In Europe where they they stereotypically pride on high basketball IQ, I believe ricky rubio has the abilities to become at least a decent starting PG.
Inconsistent with what you posted earlier when you said Lawson would be a "poor man's" Felton. I didn't say either wasn't overhyped or that either would be great. I just said I think Lawson will end up being better than Felton.
This is actually somewhat inaccurate. Don't quote me on this because this is only from memory, but Darko did not play in a top Euro league before being drafted. Moreover, he didn't even start much less "star" on the teams he played for. He wasn't playing at a "high level" before the 2003 draft. He really and truly was drafted based on measurables and potential, not for his actual in-game play. That was the huge gamble that became a much bigger mistake. The vast majority of scouts and anyone else affiliated with basketball that saw him agreed about his natural abilities and potential, but it wasn't based on actual basketball performance in games.
Rubio has actually excelled on the basketball court. Darko didn't really.
this whole thread is hypothetical...
No it's not it's a guarantee . How the is it a hypothetical re ?
i hope you're joking... but in case not, because obviously we have no way of knowing how their careers will play out...
Brandon Jennings - Aaron Brooks or better
Ricky Rubio - At least better than Kirk Hinrich possibly as good as Billups
Then it's not a hypothetical.....it's a prediction. There's a difference.
Boo-yah
Rubio is amazing, and I think he will have a better career than Griffin
