I don’t understand why Rubio is hyped so much because of his age. If you compare him to Lebron at the same age, or even Dwight Howard, who was more NBA ready? Hell, I would argue that kid Wagner who couldn’t stay healthy was just as dominant at Rubio at the same age.

Re: Rose vs. Rubio, Rubio can’t create his own shot remotely at the same level that Rose can. I do think Rubio should be, as Mizzo says, a nice player in the Assn, and perhaps he’ll be even more explosive and dynamic than I anticipate right now (moderately), but Rose is The Truth and will be The Truth from Day One. And oh yeah, here’s one of the most ri-DIC-ulous dunks I’ve ever seen, by Mr. Lance Stephenson.

I understand some of the excitement over Rubio, but don’t put him in an exclusive class yet because that’s doing a disservice to him, anyone else who balled before him and also the game.

I think Rose is going to have a good solid year. What that entails in terms of numbers I am not quite sure.

My point was that I was impressed by the poise of Rubio. I think if they played each other right now Rose would beat him. But Rubio showed me some poise in doing what he did.

now back to work for me. FASP’s await. And research on an article going up today.
