andreusito Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 I hope I'm wrong but I think the hype on Rubio is a tad too high right now. He might be lucky because of the shortened season but I think he's not going to keep it up all year: in Europe we play 3 games a week if you are a top notch team and he's playing as a starter right now. As of Valanciunas, I think he's one of the european players with most potencial I've seen in a while but as of now it is not possible in any kind of way Navarro is not the best player. I'm actually not a big Navarro fan because I've always believed he takes too many early, contested shots (a bit like Kobe) but after the Euros in September I can do nothing but bless him. I'm talking about basketball player in general and not necesarily a NBA-fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 Bryan looking pretty smart everyday by taking that pick and he hasn't even played a game yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
