Yes, he's a bad shooter (understatement... I believe he's the worst shooter in the history of the league for the volume of shots he's taken) but he's still a top-10 point guard even with those deficiencies. And he's still only 25!
To me he's basically like a B or B- version of New Jersey Jason Kidd... he's just had the disadvantage of poor teammates in an historically great conference.

Even though a lot of that is encouraging, I'm still very very against him being in this offense. The pg in our offense isn't playing maestro, RC is. The pg will get us in a set and then many times he will find himself without the ball in his hands on the perimeter. Seeing Rubio on the perimeter without the ball in his hands would cause bleeding from our eyes. I just don't think he would fit well with us in this system.
