I guess this is my new role here... Rubio version

[AbeVigodaLive]

As a recent Podcast convert (damn work commutes!)... I guess this is what I do now.

Rubio is on with Adrian Wojogalefsjdfadslkfjdasfanowski today.

Rubio thinks KG is a great mentor and teacher ;)

Rubio thinks KG is a great mentor and teacher ;)

What else would he say? "KG didn't help us at all and he didn't even play half the season." That's not Ricky. Nobody's going to say that.

You would probably say that Cam. There is also the possibility that his presence is really positive too. Don't be such a cynic.

His presence probably is positive. I've certainly never said that it's been negative. It's just overblown every time it's talked about, especially considering over half of the season he wasn't on the floor, which is when a veteran's knowledge is most valuable. There's no refuting that.

Good stuff. I didn't realize how plugged into Ricky Woj was. He really knows him quite well.

I disagree that the Olympic games are helpful to Rubio from a developmental perspective. I get why he wants to play in them, but I don't think they will help him because he plays the exact same role for Team Spain as he does for the Wolves.

Gorgui is a different situation since he is Senegal's #1 option on offense and it's clear that his national team experience in this role has helped him refine his overall offensive game.

This is a great point. We should get Rickey to play for Senegal too. That way he'll have to shoot at least 20 times a game.
