Augustine Rubit - Rubit is a 24 year old 6'6 front court player who turns 25 next month. For all those things to be true and for him to still be here in an NBA summer league coached by NBA personnel means he must be must be pretty good. And he is, in a couple of ways. Rubit is a very good rebounder and aggressive if scrappy offensive player who has the size, athleticism and long arms of a small forward, but who has hitherto been a power forward. He tried to adapt his game to suit his professional projection as a senior, most notably hitting 21 three pointers on the season after none combined in his previous three years, and slashing to the rim as ever without forgetting to use his length, reach and motor to attack the glass and defend the paint. However, mostly untested in his perimeter defense thus far, Rubit might have too much still to prove. It is nice for a player from such a tough background to make it as far as he has, but it will be very difficult to make the final leap into the NBA. Yet if he is prepared to tour the world for a few years, he has plenty of money to make.
Incidentally, Rubit's Jaguars profile lists his hobbies as "hanging out, playing basketball and talking with his girlfriend". There's a lot going on there.
