PEk struggled with fouls his first year or two, didn't he? then he was a beast until his ankle crapped out
Pek had to learn and get respect from the officials. One big adjustment was how they called screens in the NBA compared to the league he played before

Ohhh! I see what you did there Phenom! :-) Rubio will be entering his 5th year and probably deserves the same latitude to "figure out the rest of his game". Every player is different. But my general rule of thumb is by age 25 - what you see is what you get. Rubio will be 25 this year. If he stays healthy, I think we'll be seeing him at his peak this season. As far as Towns go, I'll try to temper my expectations. But I'm hoping he comes in and plays a lot so he can get through that rookie learning curve/adjustment like LaVine did last year.
