Flynn was statisticly the worst PG in the leauge last season, granted he played in a horrible system for his talents.
Rubio could be a bust, but you can't say that 'til he at least plays. You can't base how he'll be in the NBA based on his stats in Europe. European basketball is a lot more physical, slower pace game. Supposedly his Euro team ran an even slower game than the usual Euro team. I didn't know this 'til is press conference this week, but Rubio didn't lose his starting spot 'til late in the season after he hurt his ankle. Canis hoopus and ESPN both projected him to be like a young Rondo, Kidd, Nate McMillan type. Rondo can't shoot, Kidd couldn't when he came into the league either. I can't remember if McMillan could. Remember back in '09 he was projected to be the #2 overall pick for almost the whole season behind Blake Griffin. He played on the Spanish national team that won the silver medal when he was only 18.
