I honestly would expect 33-36% from Rubio on 3's. He's trended up in the last 3-4 years. Career 32.5%.

If he is in that 35-36% range, I don't think teams leave him open.


Rubio is certainly more of a threat than Simmons, but even as one of his biggest fans, no way do I count on him hitting shots at that rate. He's just not done it enough over his career to build that into our assumptions for next season.

Again... only 2 out of 21 players from the 2019 Timberwolves team made it through the 2020 season.

And it's not just the Timberwolves. The first team I looked up was perennial playoff team Milwaukee...
7 of the 11 guys who played for them in the 2nd round of the playoffs last season are not playing in the playoffs this season.

The next team was Philadelphia. 12 guys played in the playoffs last season + they had Simmons who was out injured. Only 7 of them played in the playoffs this season vs. Atlanta, and that includes Mike Scott's 1 minute.

So yet again... WHY do we care about Okogie or Vanderbilt or Culver or Hernangomez or anybody not named Towns, Edwards and Simmons? Those other guys are not the solutions. So they're not going to be here for very long. Dump them. Grab/trade for other borderline NBA players who fit better.

Ya, who cares about actual stats. You felt it. He shot a solid 29.5% from 3 on 4 attempts after the All Star Break

He's done it twice in the last 4 seasons.

Hitting 35.2% in Utah (season 17-18'),

And 36.1% in Phoenix (season 19-20').

It's actually not too much to expect, especially since he finished strong.

He didn't finish strong. He shot under 30% from 3 the 2nd half of the season

I gave you the year stats, he finished 30.8% but was terrible the first half (we all know this, we watched the games).

I bashed Rubio as much as anyone for being utter trash to start the season. But he was actually serviceable if not pretty good to end the year.

I would bash him if his play called for it, he was decent.

Never the less, he "started" the year terribly.

Do these facts match up?

33.3% to finish the season.
