I think Ball is being underrated on here. He has warts, but the guy is 20, talented, and he was solid last year. It’s not ridiculous to think he could become a bigger version of Rondo or a more athletic Rubio and his jumper is ugly but he makes it more than either of those two did at his age. The guys floor is probably a low end starting pg and his ceiling is a big 2 way allstar pg.

Rubio was a better 3pt shooter. That’s shocking.

The difference is rondo was very good at defense and a leader. Rubio, no one really wanted. Let alone tried to act like he’s something amazing.

Ball is a solid distributor and rebounder. He is a liability shooting and defending. Thus his value isn’t that high.

Nobody wanted Rubio? He was an extremely hyped player coming into the league. He was in a similar situation to Doncic. a young kid playing in Europe at a very high level. His passing was out of this world at that point. He was supposed to be the European J-Kidd, or at least Jason Williams. It never quite panned out, and the Love/ Rubio pairing did about as well as the Towns/ Wiggins duo has so far.

Taking Rubio wasn't even the mistake that draft for the Wolves, it was taking Flynn one pick later. If they had taken Curry or DeRozan, they would have had a really solid young core to build with. They still had an in his prime Al Jefferson, young Corey Brewer and a rookie Wayne Ellington in addition to those guys. That could have been an explosive offensive team.

Rubio is ten times the player ball is. Ball could get there one day maybe, but what Rubio did last season and has thus far this one, it's not even a comparison. Shooting, assists, steals Rubio walks away with easily. Ball gets him at rebounding. I can live with my PG not being the best rebounding PG in the league, but passing and shooting I prioritize, and rubio does that better than ball by far.

Wolves could had curry and derozan that would been crazy.
