He played Pro Basketball (ACB) since he was 14 years old and was the leader in his team the past seasons. He fighted against Chris Paul and Jason Kidd and did pretty well... He still has to be a bit more athletic and improve his jump shot, but he is young!

Think he's going to be a great player! :)

Think there's any truth to the rumors that the Knicks are trying to trade up for him? Ricky Rubio in Mike D'Antoni's system would definitely be interesting to see...

I didn't read anything about that, but I think Rubio only lacks the jump shot to be in D'Antoni's system (I know he can improve, but I guess that it won't be at Steve's level sometime...), because Nash had a great point average playing with that team! :)

I think the Wolves are making some moves to get Rubio, because they exchanged the 5th pick plus a bunch of street lamps for Mike Miller and Randy Foye...

I think Blake Griffin goes number one and Rubio goes anywhere from 2 to 8 (unlike he'd drop this far). There are basically two issues: Rubio has be playing in Europe, so GMs wonder how that will translate and the issue of getting out of his contract.

Perhaps...Minnesota took two PGs. So I'm guessing either Rubio or Flynn is going to be dealt...perhaps to NY?

Rumor is that Rubio may be going back to Spain on a contract extension with his previous team. The T-wolves will try to deal Rubio, probably for a Center (Love is better as a forward in my opinion).

It looks like Minnesota wants to keep both of them. Though Rubio will probably force a trade as they don't want him going back to Spain.

David Lee for Rubio is one of the possibilities i have heard of - at least the Knicks have shown some interest.
