I don't remember if this has been discussed before, but after seeing a few games, where are we now?

He helps Love a lot.

Definitely not Beasley. Not yet anyway.

Freaking Tolliver. Just look at how many spot up, wide open 3's he can shoot on a regular game. Only benefiting from the use of the weak side on pick and roll situations that Ricky provides.

I hope Tolliver teaches the rest of our wings how to spot up like that when Rubio is working the pick and roll. He always gets to the right spot for Ricky to find him.

had a hard time not saying Tolliver, but I know he will find a way in this league no matter who is on the court with him. The change from Luke to Rube is quite profound with Randolph.

I think it is Tolliver, Randolph...then Ridnour! Luke is becoming more flashy with his passes. Does anyone else notice this?

Yeah from tonights game I remember a no look pass into the defenders chest and the alley to Wes' oop. Not sure if it's a good thing.

Doctor Rubio schedule :

    - First games : Randolph and Barea

    - Last games : Love, Tolliver and Ellington

    - This is the week of Darko, Wes and Ridnour.

    - And finally, the last week is dedicated only for Beas. It's the most difficult case.

Please, get the number and keep the row.

Randolph and Tolliver are getting all the votes because those are the two players he's thrown the flashiest passes to. He's helping everyone.

I think it's Love.
Those 2 on a pick and roll/pick and pop game is going to drive everyone crazy. Love/Rubio has the potential to be a Stockton/Malone combo (completely different talents obviously, but you get the idea).

He indirectly helps Williams by drawing most if not all of the hype, expectations, and spotlight which allows Williams to develop and play in relative anonymity (and pressure-free atmosphere) that doesn't usually occur with being a #2 overall pick.
