Some type of combo guard that can actually handle the ball and play both positions would be handy. A Randy Foye type would be good.

Yep and someone that can be a spot starter at either spot. Foye has shown to be able to do that and stay healthy. We don't need it to be a a development guy. Just someone that wouldn't kill us if they got forced into 30+ minutes a night for 20 games a season

If Rubio could shoot as bad as Wiggins we might be 500.

Rubio has higher FG% than Wiggins in both long two pointers (37.3% vs 35.0%) and three pointers (28.8% vs 25.4%). So if Rubio would shoot as well as Wiggins we would be actually worse than we are now.

But if Rubio could finish as well at rim as Wiggins, Wolves might be 500.

Finishing at the rim isn't part of shooting? The way Rubio approaches it I guess it isn't.

Looking at Brooklyn, there's little to no chance they can put together a competitive team. So, they may lean towards simply putting together an entertaining enough team to put some people in seats. That being said. I'd trade Shabazz for RHJ in a second if that's something they'd consider

At least I don't consider finishing at rim as part of shooting. And it seems quite few does, otherwise DeAndre Jordan would be considered as a good shooter since he is finishing better than 75% at rim. Shooting and finishing at rim are two totally different skills. Ricky happens to be bad in both and Wiggins is bad only in shooting.
