Utah Jazz point guard Ricky Rubio returned to action against the Portland Trail Blazers on Monday after missing his squad’s previous six games with a hamstring injury. For the most part, he put his best foot forward in limited time off the bench, scoring 12 points in just 14 minutes of play.
That performance sparked a recurring debate in our J-Notes group thread; one that can be boiled down to the following question — what does Rubio really bring to the table and is it something that gives the Jazz their best shot at success?
It’s a conundrum the team has been dealing with for the better part of two seasons now.
