Let Rubio get up and down the court, use his creative abilities and run the offense through him (to an extent). The best we've seen of Rubio in the NBA was his rookie season, when he was playing HIS game and throwing lobs to and getting easy looks for Williams, Randolph and Wes, and making something out of nothing.
Rondo took a lot of heat for not being able to shoot his first few years. Prior to his injury, he was able to show he could score. Why not give Rubio the same benefit of the doubt and let his game mature and evolve? He'll never be a great outside shooter, but he's also never played under a coach who knows how to use him properly.
I think that teams adjusted to Rubio`s play too, that should be mentioned.
