The biggest splash of this offseason is Ricky Rubio. In hopes of keeping Gordon Hayward, Dennis Lindsey traded the first-round draft pick (which they received for Enes Kanter) to Minnesota for Rubio to help solidify the point guard position. While it didn’t persuade Hayward to stay, the Jazz are excited about what Rubio brings to the court. His strengths are his passing ability and defense. He is the best passing point guard in the league and the best that the Jazz have had since John Stockton. Defensively, Rubio is blessed with 6-foot-4 height and 7-foot wingspan, which is elite for his position.
