He needs to work on his scoring, specifically his jump shot, if he wants to improve his production. Regardless, as a result of his fantasy production, he will be selected high during fantasy drafts in the fall.","date":"Fri May 10"},"fullName":"Ricky Rubio","seasonOutlook":{"outlook":"Rubio, 21, took the league by storm in his rookie season before succumbing to a torn ACL in March. Prior to his injury, the slick-passing Spaniard was a top-30 fantasy player as a starter, posting averages of 10.8 points, 4.3 rebounds, 8.3 assists, 2.4 steals and 0.8 3-pointers in 31 starts. We all knew Rubio was a brilliant playmaker, but he surprised folks with just how active he was on the defensive end. He was everywhere defensively, getting his hands into passing lanes and creating steals at a high rate. He struggled with his shot from the floor but offset that by getting to the line at a high rate and shot 80.3 percent. Still working his way back from knee surgery, it is unclear if Rubio will return for the start of the season. Given the injury, Rubio will be a high-risk, high-reward selection on draft day with the potential to pay huge dividends if he can return at full strength.","seasonId":2013,"date":"Wed Oct 10"},"playerRater30DAY":11.4,"playerRater15DAY":6.4,"positionRank":34}
