I was a big fan of the Cleveland Cavaliers acquiring Ricky Rubio via trade a few hours before the 2021 NBA Draft, when they selected Evan Mobley #3 overall.
Rubio is not a player that I’d expect to push Darius Garland as Cleveland’s starting point guard, with how Garland had quite the bounce-back season in 2020-21, but Rubio should be a bench stabilizer that is more than capable of starting if need be. That’s if Garland misses games at times because of injury, for instance.
