Rubio really came on strong last year from what I saw. Shot the ball very well and he is an excellent passer. His turnovers went down it seemed too.

Rubio has stepped his game up. Wiggins is the player that needs to find his role besides scoring. He gives them nothing in terms of creation for others as his assist numbers are dreadful. He doesn't rebound a lot or attack the boards and his defense (which was a supposed strength out of college) has been lacking and leaving a lot to be desired.

If Wiggins can become the defender he is expected to be and gain some freaking weight, he and Butler could wreck shite. With Rubio facilitating; his improved 3 point shooting to boot, and Towns doing his thing, you have 4 players that will strike fear in the coming years if this core stays put.

Minnesota trading Dunn and Lavine was a good trade for Butler. Butler is solid. He and Wiggins are going to eat.

Don't get me wrong I don't hate Rubio I've been pulling for him since he arrived. I love his handle and passing skill and you're 100% right about him improving I just don't think he's a Tom T guy. Besides that to me I think the 4 spot is where they'll need an upgrade in the starting lineup and of course their bench isn't too good either. They do have a couple guys on the bench that can shoot the 3 but those guys arnt clocking enough minutes and overall as a team they need improvement there too.
