That is also true, but Jennings hasn't done extremely well in the NBA either. But that could be because he is on the Bucks and doesn't get much spotlight.
Jennings also didn't play Euro ball his entire life. Euro ball is a different game.

I mean Rubio is averaged 7 points, 3 rebounds, and 4 assists per game in the Euro league.

Last summer, Rubio had a golden opportunity to showcase himself as the future of Spanish basketball, playing for the national team in the world championships in Turkey. With Toronto Raptors point guard Jose Calderon out with an injury and Pau Gasol electing to stay home after winning an N.B.A. title with the Los Angeles Lakers, this was Rubio’s ship to steer.

Instead, Rubio struggled. He shot 28 percent from the field, including 2 of 17 from 3-point range, and averaged 4 points in 25 minutes over nine games. Spain, the defending champion, lost in the quarterfinals. For the first time, cracks began to appear in the Rubio hype machine.

His success level will really come down to how the Timberwolves adjust their scheme to better suit Love and Rubio. Molding their style of play will make him much more successful.
