Ricky Rubio is widely regarded as one of the NBA's most underrated players. The Spaniard was drafted with the fifth pick in the first round of the 2009 NBA draft by the Minnesota Timberwolves, and since joining the Jazz in 2017, Rubio has enjoyed the best form of his career.

Last season, the 28-year-old averaged 13.1 points, 5.3 assists and 4.6 rebounds per game, and was also instrumental during the Jazz's playoff series win over the Thunder.

So far this season, the point guard has managed to keep Dante Exum out of the starting lineup, however, he has struggled with his shot. His field goal percentage is currently at just .39, and Rubio is also shooting just 33% from deep.

The Spaniard's points-per-game are also slightly down on the 17/18 season, and the Jazz will be hoping that the former Timberwolves man can end his shooting woes in the upcoming weeks.
