I'm watching him since he was 16 and I can't remember another injury. He can play 82 games of a RS.

Second, this isn't objective but I think he can improve his shot and the layups because both are product of lack of physical work, both aerobic and anaerobic. He couldn't work in the preseason and he was cleared to play in November and his legs are weak and he suffers at the last quarters. I I bet he can improve a lot and average more than 15 ppg and nobody will say he is overpaid, especially with the next collective bargain."

Ricky's injuries have cut into developmental time and affected this season. Sam said as much. Given his free throw shooting is very good and that his shooting outside of the fourth quarter (when he isn't fatigued) is ok, I think we shouldn't assume Ricky can't improve on his FG%. That said even with the low FG%, Ricky makes up for it in so many ways. With a FG% north of 40%, he'd be an allstar.

And hopefully he can work on his lower body which should theoretically improve his sliding shooting percentages.

Adlemans system was a lot of ball movement and lack of Iso's and Rubio was the same player in that system as well

Huh? So, you're just going to act like Adelman didn't run action at the elbows with Love and Pek holding the ball? Then Martin or Brewer would come top and take the handoff, leaving Rubio as a spot up shooter. That happened far too often. Also, Adelman's system isn't predicated on pick and roll action, which just so happens to be Rubio's bread and butter. Next coach should have Ricky run 50 PnR's and get the most out of him that way.

What would we need from the Bucks to trade Rubio?
