FIBA World Cup 2019: Top 5 players from the tournament

#1 Ricky Rubio - Spain

Ricky Rubio put in some of the best performances of his career to guide Spain to World Cup glory

Ricky Rubio has put up impressive numbers with the Utah Jazz over the past few years, although the franchise moved on from the point guard in free agency. Nevertheless, Rubio illustrated his talent during a series of excellent displays in China.

Over eight appearances, Rubio only recorded less than 15 points once and finished the competition averaging 16.4 points per contest. Rubio has historically struggled from three-point range, although the 28-year-old managed to knock down 39% of his 31 attempts from beyond the arc.

In addition to his improved shooting, Rubio was also among the leading creators at the World Cup as he finished with six assists per game.

During the final against Argentina, Rubio produced another fine all-round display and was subsequently named MVP of the Tournament. Ultimately, Rubio enjoyed a phenomenal tournament and will now be looking forward to kicking off a new era of his career with the Phoenix Suns.
