During the 18/19 season, Ricky Rubio averaged 12.7 points, 6.1 assists and 1.3 steals per game for the Utah Jazz, although he is set to set to become an unrestricted free agent this summer.

"I don't have any idea where I'm going to play next year. I'll look for the best situation for me to perform and to be happy"
