Jimmer is going to be very inconsistent if he is not coached properly. He could be an amazing role player if he just took better shots. I mean, it is nice to see the standard "JIMMMEERRRR!" three 29 feet away from the net, but if he wants to work in a system, he is gonna have to just play a little smarter. The kid has swagger though. He could be a legitimate starter/sixthman on a decent team if he is coached well.
As for Ricky. His shot will improve. To all those who are claiming that he has a terrible shot, you forget about the Spanish work ethic when it comes to shooting. He will get better over time. He has one thing that makes him so unique, vision. That is a thing that we see a player have once in a blue moon. The kid has that X-factor that makes him so good. He could be the next J will.

It is amazing to see how different the TWolves seemed last night. Of course it is only 1 games, but there is a definite buzz and change in culture
12 points (4-7FG 2-3FT 2-2 3PT), 6 rebounds, 12 assists, 1 steal and 5 TOs against Heat.
Do you guys think he could win the ROTY?

According to this ESPN Truehoop report Rubio made NBA history on Wednesday.
Ricky Rubio had a rare night Wednesday in NBA statistical terms. Rubio posted nine points, eight assists, seven rebounds and six steals in a win over the Detroit Pistons.
Elias says that Rubio is the first player in NBA history with at least nine points, eight assists, seven rebounds and six steals in a game without reaching 10 in any of those categories.
The most appropriate way to put it? Rubio had the best quadruple-single in NBA history.
That assist with Williams trailing was amazing (2:25). No look fast break pass was pretty nice also (1:53).
Man I wish we had Rubio. His court vision is so good.Stuck with tunnel vision Bayless.
#8 play was amazing (38 sec).

yes... a lot of people seem to forget that all of our players haven't played ball at all over the summer because of the lockout, cept maybe 1 or 2 charity games. Its almost impossible to regress, last year he was playing great, this year is mainly cause of the change in coaches and short training camp. Last year he was told to score, this year he's told to defend. Once he gains is confidence back he'll be all good. I don't want to turn this into a DeRozan thread so if you want to discuss this go to everything raptors.
