What is the NBA universe’s general consensus on Ricky Rubio’s woeful shooting percentages? As far as I can tell, there are two camps: those who think Rubio is a horrible player who will never get better at shooting the ball and will always be a liability, and those who think that his low volume and incredible playmaking ability render his not-even-that-bad percentages irrelevant.
There is a hypothetical third camp, those who think that he would be a lot better if he could be a threat to score, but remains a good playmaker on a team with scoring threats around him. No one actually believes this. In the world of basketball fandom, there are no gray areas.
