this is ridiculous.

This. /thread
Did you not watch him play this season? Career year tbh...
Rubio is one of the worst shooters in the league for his position. Shoots under 50% on shots at the basket and shies away from them as a result. Parker is 65% over his career at the basket and near 60% this season. Rubio is a sub 40% shooter from two for his career though a little better this season.
Three point shot is low 30s, so below a rate at which you'd guard him and given 90% of them are assisted, it means he's not taking tough threes off the dribble (tougher shots and a lower expected %). They're open misses that the opponent gives him.
This part of his game is so bad that his very good passing and solid defense can't come close to overcoming it.
On edit - no player other than Rubio has played over 10k minutes while still shooting under 40% from two in the three point era. That's AWFUL- basically the worst shooter of his generation who's been given this much of a chance:

Also one of worst eFG% in the same era with a bunch of bigs who played basketball only because they're huge and a few guards who in retrospect were awful:

I think you guys are confused. The Spurs are actually trying to IMPROVE the PG position this summer.
Yeah, nah, I'm a shooter, not interested in someone that can't shoot over 40% from 2pt range - especially when that player is supposed to be an NBA point guard. You can improve you shooting with a shooting coach, but there is still some feel for shooting the ball and some people/players just don't have it. Rubio could be one of them.

Yet his shooting stats are probably better than hanga who you bums want as a 2/3... wtfRubio is one of the worst shooters in the league for his position.

Do you know how to read? Rubio shot well over 40% from two point range this past season tbh.
Agreed. Don't look at ST for intelligent takes, though, tbh...
How is Bryen Forbes on this team and we didn't keep Jimmer Fredette? Jimmer kills in D league, All Star game , overseas with the Sharks. He can shoot but we keep Forbes who looks scared to shoot.
Rubio is a Great passer and is quick but can't shoot
Rose is past his prime and injury prone
Forbes was a great three point shooter..... in college
Hanga? No sign of him coming over.
Arcidiacono is developing nicely in the D League but no room on team
Chris Paul is not signing, he's using us for leverage
Jimmer can pass, dribble and create is own shot.
Now that we need guards, we need to give him a long second look
I cannot believe we expect to beat the Warriors with old Manu, old and injured Parker, and scared Forbes on this team.
We need youth,speed, passing and shooting.
Murray and Mills will get worn out do to being over played.
Manu and Parker need to retire and Forbes sent to the D league
Give me Murray ,Mills, Green, Fredette , draft Josh Hart and bring up Archidiacono
If you really want Rubio, than he would have to be only a passer and everyone else needs to shoot lights out, and thats not going to happen, except on the Warriors.
I expect another great year with another Western Confrence Finals loss to GS, unless we make changes.

Jimmer.
Surprise Surprise he can score on our backcourt. Are backcourt isn’t the Legion of Boom.
was always a firm believer rubio needed the right environment. would be great to have him on this roster.definitely down if spurs don't land cp3.
would love to have had him 4 or 5 seasons ago. which probably means he'll be a spur in a few year....
