Excuse us if it feels like Ricky Rubio has been in Utah for many years now. Ricky Rubio in his first major press conference with the Utah Jazz spoke as though he had been in the locker room with these guys for years. Ricky’s charisma, humor, and optimism is something that hasn’t been in Utah for a long time. He commands a room and even answered a few questions in Spanish.
While Ricky’s optimistic view of life and basketball is a known quantity, many in Utah are hoping that his new head coach Quin Snyder will help the Rubio take his game to the next level.
