Thanks for this. That chart follows my suspicion completely. I always suspected Rubio could get to the points on the court he wanted but was never oriented on his shot. I always thought Cassel could have been an asset working with Rubio in this area. Cassell always managed to get right to the green area for Rubio without much athletic ability.

man, that 13/41 from close could make me cry really, also that 5/11 and 5/10 and even 7/15 that is not a sample size you can believe in, imho it is just matter of variance (unless shooting charts from other seasons show the same)

23 - 64 within 10 feet of the hoop has to be the worst percentage in the NBA, right?

Not sure we learn anything new from a Rubio shot chart other than "he can't shoot". I've always thought the area he has the most potential to improve is the set-shot 3. He'll never be a good shooter off the dribble or on finishes.
Looking at it from a moving forward perspective, it's really hard to envision Wiggins and Rubio as a playoff-worthy starting guard tandem if neither can knock down 3's. On the other hand, they are easily our best backcourt defensive pairing, so once again, we have a situation where we can't seem to find the right combination of skills that can work on both ends of the floor.
