Suns: How could Ricky Rubio improve with his shooting?

[DC23]

I think it’s hard to argue that Ricky Rubio is less than impressive when it comes to shooting, and in fact has been declining over time. I can't figure him out and I can't understand why a team like the Suns would offer 3yr/$51 million. To be honest, I'm not convinced he deserves to be in the league. In your analysis, what is wrong with the way he shoots, and how could he improve?

His motion is not fluid
Seeens to be to squares

With a spanish National team he seems to be more aggresive with a ball and shooting more, so maybe he just needs to change enviroment. He is still above average passer and solid smart player.

They love him here...white.

You're trying to make sense. Out of something. The Suns did.

Read that three or four times, then unask the question.

Let me rephrase: I can't understand why ANY team would offer 3yr/$51 million to be horrendous shooter, mediocre PG.

His last two seasons have been the best 2pt% years of his career, so he has shown steady progress in that regard. I agree he has issues-- he'd probably be best used as a 6th man on a good team.
