Yeah it was amazing how Rubio has improved as what he's showing to start this season. It's long due already, he was phenomenal during his rookie year a couple of years ago but got injured then started to decline. He has potential, much like Wiggins, Towns, and LaVine. He couldn't cope up with the PGs of this generation last season but is showing promise now.
I agree, if he remains healthy he could be the NBA leader in assists which is an stat that faded into nothing recently (and sadly). John Wall and Chris Paul are great point guards overall but compared to great passers like Kidd, Stockton, Nash and even Rondo in his Celtics years they have nothing to do in this category.
Today we have great shooters PGs instead, like Curry, Irving, Parker, Westbrook, Lillard, even Rose (not sure if he's still relevant today...).
Well Curry, Parker, and Wall can still dish out great assists, it's just their core game is shooting and scoring. It's not like the PGs of this generation are the only ones changing. Look at the center and PF roles, much of the teams now value centers who can play PFs and vice versa. Moreover, centers and PFs nowadays are more valued if they can shoot close to mid-range jumpers, unlike for example, during Shaq's era that he can't even make free throws.
@ontopic - Im betting on SAS, GSW, and MIN tomorrow. Charlotte is a free win for SAS, GSW can surely outplay SAC, and I'm in for a blind belief the MIN can win against CHI tomorrow.
