In the modern NBA, you need a strong point guard to even have a chance to
compete. Without one, you’re lost.
One of the top options set to come available this offseason in free agency is
Utah Jazz floor general Ricky Rubio, who will receive a good amount of
interest from teams lacking an adequate lead ball-handler. Rubio is coming
off a season in which he averaged 12.7 points, 6.1 assists, 1.3 steals and
1.2 triples nightly on 40.4 percent shooting, and helped play an important
role on a very good Utah team.
在現代NBA中，你需要一個強大的控球後衛才有機會競逐季後賽。沒有這樣的球員，你
就注定要輸了。
這個休賽季期間在自由球員市場上，所能得到的最佳選擇之一就是 Utah Jazz 的地板指揮
官 Ricky Rubio，他將會吸引那些目前缺乏優秀控球員的球隊很大的關注。Rubio在本賽
季平均每場可以得到12.7分，6.1次助攻，1.3次抄截與1.2次三分球，投籃命中率達到
40.4％，並且在一支非常出色的猶他州球隊中發揮了重要作用。
More than just the statistics, though, Rubio is known around the league as a
great teammate who won’t complain about his role and will work hard on both
ends of the floor every minute he’s in the game – and those traits will
help greatly raise his stock as a free agent.
Below, we break down four potential free-agent landing spots for the Spanish
maestro.
除了統計數據之外，Rubio在聯盟中也以一名偉大的隊友而著名，他從不抱怨自己的角色
，並且在比賽中每一分鐘都會在球場上努力的工作 - 這些特質將都有助於大大提高他成
為自由球員後的籌碼。
以下，我們為這位西班牙大師解析四個潛在的自由球員落腳處。
PHOENIX SUNS
太陽隊
Rubio may not be an All-NBA talent, but compared to some of the point-guard
play the Phoenix Suns have gotten over the past few years, he may as well be.
Rubio 可能不是NBA最有天賦的球員，但與太陽隊在過去幾年中所曾擁有的控球後衛相比
，他則可能會是如此。
The combination of De’Anthony Melton and Elie Okobo were brutally
ineffective in 2018-19, to the point that the Suns, despite having Devin
Booker literally post a 26.6/4.1/6.8 campaign, boasted the league’s
third-worst offense according to offensive rating, ahead of just the Bulls
and New York Knicks. Of course, the two young ball-handlers were just
rookies, and still have decent upside, so it’s not like Phoenix should just
throw in the towel on them. But if the Suns want the tandem to develop, they
need to find a veteran point guard for them to share the locker room with,
someone who could play 25-30 minutes a night, and teach them the ways of the
NBA floor general.
即使Devin Booker可以繳出26.6/4.1/6.8的成績，在2018-19賽季，De’Anthony Melton
與Elie Okobo的組合，仍是慘不忍睹的沒有效率，在進攻效率上最終只得到聯盟第三差的
進攻表現，僅領先公牛隊和尼克隊。當然，這兩個年輕的控球手只是新秀，而且還有不錯
的提升空間，所以太陽隊看起來還沒打算放棄他們。但是如果太陽隊希望這雙人組合能夠
成長，那麼他們需要找到一名每晚可以打25-30分鐘經驗豐富的控球後衛，來分享休息室
的經驗，並教導他們如何成為NBA的地板指揮官。
Rubio would be a fantastic candidate for that role.
Additionally, over the past two seasons, Rubio has learned how to be
effective without the ball in his hands, so he wouldn’t need to take too
many possessions away from the insanely productive Booker, either, and stymie
his development.
Rubio 就是成為這個角色的絕佳候選人。
此外，在過去兩個賽季中，Rubio 已經學會如何在沒有球權的情況下發揮功效，所以他
也不需要從瘋狂產出的 Booker 那邊拿走太多球權，並阻礙他的成長。
The Spaniard could be a great teacher for Phoenix’s young guards, help give
the Suns’ offense a boost and wouldn’t be overly expensive to sign; all in
all, this fit makes a lot of sense.
這個西班牙人可以成為太陽隊年輕後衛的優秀導師，幫助提升太陽隊的進攻能力並且不會
過於昂貴。總而言之，在各種方面上他們都很搭。
