Coming out of a very successful run in Europe as the most captivating young basketball player in decades, Rubio finally signed with the NBA to the delight of the Timberwolves faithful. The Spaniard has not always been the most effective shooter, but at no point when he is on the court can you take your eyes off of him. Before he departed for the Utah Jazz, Rubio was a strong distributor who as in the top six in Assists per Game four times with Minnesota and he posted even better stats in Steals. Rubio was a three-time leader in Steal Percentage and finished second in Steals per Game on three occasions.
Rubio returned to the T-Wolves in 2020, playing one season before he was traded to the Cavaliers. He was not as productive as he was in his earlier run, but he remains one of the more must-watch players in Minnesota's history.
