Phoenix • Jazz head coach Quin Snyder gives Ricky Rubio a large share of the credit for his team’s personality over the two seasons he played in Utah.
“It’s hard to overstate the impact that Ricky had on our group. I think, in a lot of ways, we took on his personality; his unselfishness, how hard he played, he had great pride,” Snyder said.
He seems to have brought that to the Phoenix Suns as well. The Suns have surprised teams with their good early season efforts, especially given that they were projected to finish last in the Western Conference.
