Ricky Rubio, 27, has been a pro basketball player for the past 13 years.
At 14, he began his playing career in Spain and was one of the youngest ever to play in the Euroleague. He’s had invaluable time to polish the fundamentals of the game against quality competition.
Yet Rubio still can’t shoot — and it’s hurting the Utah Jazz, who might want to consider pulling the plug on the point guard at least to see if alternative lineups can work.
