Rubio may have "huge upside". But at point guard? How many projects can you name that have made it at point guard? On the other hand, i can name you about 20 guards that have excelled at international play and ended up not doing well at the NBA level.
Point guard is not a position where you can be " a project" like center. At least with a center, a guy has size and can clog the middle and defend and grab rebounds while he is learning. That isnt the case at point guard. In order for a point guard to play, he has to be ready to run the offense. Do you really want to trust a slow 18 year old that doesnt shoot it well to run your offense? Do you really want to invest a top 5 pick on a guy that you hope will develop into an NBA guard?
I ask again, how many "projects" have made it at point guard?
