When it comes to floor generals, they don’t make ’em like Ricky Rubio anyone.
He’s the exception to today’s score-first rule. Rubio isn’t a game-breaking force to be reckoned with. He’s a game manager. He won’t lead your team to victory, but he’ll enhance the play of those who will.
That’s perfect for an LA Clippers team loaded with alpha scorers. Rubio’s ability to facilitate should bode well for a roster full of guys who are mostly known to call their own number.
