2 Rookie PG’s & 2 Rookie PF’s Which pair would you rather have going forward?

Irving seems to be a very consistent PG who could avg 16 & 8asst. Thompson is a Beast in Making if he can develop a post game/& reliable jump shot. If not he will still be a usable player with his shot blocking & energy.

DWill: I believe Can be a 2nd option player in the L, who has the skills to make multiple AllStar games. Rubio has the makings of being a Special player with his great passing ability. When he has more confidence in his jump shot he will be able to expand his game.

I think going forward that The Wolves have 2 future Stars.

Also, TWolves win 2nite

RRubio And DWill (in my opion)

I’m going Rubio/ Williams, both look good but I’m going for the more finished product.

 Rubio and DWill already seem to have a connection and I feel Williams is a great pick and roll option with his athleticism and pick and pop option with his outside shot.  They already seem to be showing glimpses of a dangerous duo.  They are more polished players and they still have upside, neither guy is close to peaking.

Thompson looks to me, like a future enforcer, to go with Irving.  I’m stil a little skeptical on what kind of offensive player he is going to be because there is a lot of work ahead of him, BUT he’s impressed me so far this year, and I think he’ll be a 9 + rpg 2 + bpg player as soon as midway next season.

Definatly going with Rubio and Williams. Both could be future All stars and are still getting better

 I will always go with a pass first point guard over a score first point guard.  Now I haven’t watched much of Irving yet, but I can already tell that Rubio is something special, he could be the next Steve Nash, he has that great court awareness.

^^^ i think rubio is more of jason kidd then steve nash

First off Irving is more like Nash than Rubio. Scott has it right with the kidd/rubio comparison. Irving, like Nash, is a good shooter. Maybe not Nash like yet but much closer than Rubio. Willams is more polished offensively but Thompson is changing the game defensively. Rubio and Willams also are a combined 3 years older and have played more basketball at a higher level. (Willams was a soph. Rubio last 2 years  playing pro in Europe while Thompson a fresh and Irving a freshman with only 11 games) Of the 4 only Irving is starting, playing against the best pg’s night in and out while Rubio is still comin off the bench. So I’ll say the Cavs are better off until you add in some Love, lol

More important than starting… Rubio plays the entire 4th quarter and controls the game when it matters most..

Rubio and Williams, but Thompson looks like he can be special so it’s far from a sure thing.

Actuall depending on how he develops, he could actually be on Nash level.  He takes good shot and he can shoot the 3.  You guys forget that Nash was 22 when he came in.  It took him a few years to start.  We will have to see where Rubio is in 2 years to actually accurately make that decision. 

 

I will say that Rubio is a better defender than Nash.  Also he seems to me to be a better scorer than Kidd. so he is actually somewhere in the middle.

 Rubio put it the best. He’s not Kidd or Nash.. He is RICKY RUBIO. lol idk if ya’ll have seen but he’s been putting up a good shooting % so far this year. And there’s a reason for that. He doesn’t force shots. He won’t take a 3 unless if its a good look. He knows when to force the issue and went to slow down and take the game as it comes to him. His basketball IQ is ridiculously high for how young he is and that’ll translate a lot better IMO. 

Also Michael Beasely got injured in tonight’s game(foot injury)… Hopefully that means some starter minutes for Derrick Williams.
