Ricky Rubio is having the best season of his career at age 25. Still, an overwhelming majority of onlookers will bemoan his inability to score before mentioning any of the countless positives that have come to define his unique game.
Rubio brings elite skills to the table in every facet of the game besides scoring. Passing, court vision, ball handling, pick-and-roll offense (Towns sure is enjoying that action), and stifling defense at the league's deepest position on a nightly basis. That hasn't changed from past seasons, though it seems a majority of NBA followers remain unimpressed even in the midst of his best season yet.
