Welcome to the Thursday edition of The Cooler, where some things never change even if you want them to. Let’s get to it:
*A few years ago, I wrote about how Ricky Rubio was the worst shooter in modern NBA history based on some simple criteria: Of all players as of December 2015 who had played at least 5,000 career minutes since the 1979-80 season, when the NBA adopted the three-point line, Rubio had the worst shooting percentage of all of them.
He has since made a pretty significant amount of improvement — shooting better than 40 percent each of the last three seasons after never doing that previously — and stands as just the 13th-worst of all-time.
