The 21-year-old started 31 games for the Timberwolves before the injury, and averaged 10.6 points and 8.2 assists in his 41 total games. He proved he can compete at the NBA level last year, but there is still a fairly long road to recovery for Rubio.","date":"Fri May 18"},"fullName":"Ricky Rubio","seasonOutlook":{"outlook":"Rubio was a big topic of conversation during the Beijing Olympics in the summer of 2008 and an even bigger topic of conversation when he was selected with the fifth overall pick in the 2009 draft. After he spent a few years overseas, the Rubio hype machine has died down considerably and many scouts have commented that he has not progressed the way they hoped he would. But Rubio still has the passing skills that made him a prodigy, and he'll have some scoring weapons in Kevin Love, Michael Beasley and Derrick Williams to fill the lanes. Given how long the Wolves waited for him, he should earn plenty of minutes in his rookie season and will be a fantasy asset for assists and steals immediately.","seasonId":2012,"date":"Wed Nov 30"},"positionRank":37}
