I was a fan of the Cleveland Cavaliers acquiring Ricky Rubio a few hours before the 2021 NBA Draft via trade from the Minnesota Timberwolves. That was in exchange for Taurean Prince, a 2022 second-round pick via the Washington Wizards and cash considerations.
I’m not going to say that Prince wasn’t a quality rotational shooter; he was for Cleveland, and he knocked in 41.5 percent of his three-point attempts with the Cavaliers following his mid-season trade arrival from the Brooklyn Nets.
