    Rubio was on the radar of NBA scouts for years before the Olympics. His draftexpress page goes back to 2005:

    We get it. You like Mills, but the NBA futures of DeColo and Mills will not be affected at all by their performances in London.
    And I never said it did. My comment was a response to another comment that said that De Colo could shoot. I simply used De Colo's play at London as an example of De Colo's 'shooting ability'.

    Why do you think guys like Rubio were drafted so highly even though they hadn't played a single minute in the states before being drafted? Rubio gained the attention of NBA scouts due to his great performances at the Olympics....

    And where in any of my comments did I discuss the NBA futures of DeColo, Mills or Rubio?
    A reading comprehension fail, perhaps?

    Where someone is drafted isn't their 'NBA future'. Their 'NBA future' is determined by how they actually perform IN the NBA. The word 'future' means the period after something has happened, i.e. after they've been drafted to the NBA. So one's NBA future means how that person's NBA career plays out.

    De Colo is absolutely an NBA player. Did you not watch the game? His shooting leaves a lot to be desired and his decisions at the rim need help, but he showed some flashes of what's needed at the PG position. He got around his defender and penetrated well, he had a few very nice passes, and he hit big shots. He's not polished by any means, but as our 3rd string PG, he is an NBA player.

    How have I dug myself a hole? As I've said, find one post where I comment on De Colo's or Mill's NBA futures? Another troll....

    How does Nando's speed and lateral quickness compare to other PGs? is it good enough to be great?
    because I have a lot of confidence in his BBIQ and ball handling, and I think his shot will come in time, just curious on the measurables...
    no, it is quite awful..

    Brent Barry was awesome! A reliable three point threat who knew his role with the team.

    Don't forget he defended TOSB-Wade pretty damn well.

    but his size and length makes up for it when he learns how to play defense....if he can be more efficient with the ball handling and turn down with the stupid passes, better shooting efficiency, he could stick around in the league....but this guy had a couple of years in europe to develop his game, whether its lack of nba experience or adapting to the nba game b4 he hits his strides, he better make the best of the opportunities to prove pop he belongs on this team or else doghouse

    De Colo first "full" game was against the defending champion. I liked what a saw. FIRST GAME!!!
    And he only get better. If he continues to improve and Pop lets him play, he can be a valuable asset to have for next season.

    So he's not an NBA player, but he can put together a solid all around game against the best team in the NBA on the road in his first start of his NBA career while defending Dwyane Wade the majority of the time? Is he somebody I want playing 25 minutes per night? Not yet. But he's definitely a solid stash for now.

    it simply means that he is a sg not a pg.. I've seen him countless times and he is really streaky when it comes to his shooting and his ball handling is very tournover prone, but he still is good in that he can really take over when is hot and with his passing he can make a team look better than it is.. my point is simply that he is a sg and should be treated as such because at pg it is a losing bet. Then again, i feel the same about Neal even if they are quite different.
