Ricky Rubio

[kidachi]

anyone else heard of him? 6'4 180Lbs. Kid is great. he'll just be 18 this year.

there was one game against Russia where he made 51pts 24rebs 12assts. (which i thought might a mistake but... i don't know)

he's a handful of talent.. but he'll have a problem containing the guards in the NBA.

here's a mix.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KqLGzkhRHN8

[Sharas]

not really, he's already one of the best perimeter defenders in europe at age of 17. he's got inhuman lateral quickness, wickedly quick hands and great natural defensive instincts. he led the euroleague in steals last year and regularly guarded opponent's biggest perimeter threats. he'll need to gain some pounds, but he has all the tools to become the lockdown defender even at nba level.

right now his biggest weakness apart from lack of muscle mass is outside shooting.

[DoubleTech]

people who know ball have known about Rubio since he was 16. all the spanish national players swear he's the next big thing from europe.

[Sharas]

he most probably is. it's unheard of in europe that someone plays so well, at a level so high, at that age

His outside shooting has really improved this season. I mean, he's still no sniper, but his 3pt.% was a rather poor 28% during last season's spanish ACB while he's currently shooting a pretty good 36%.

someone's trying to keep ricky rubio down... moving him into the international section, hah.

he's a legit NBA prospect.

i guess they're going to move the "any new highschool sensations..." thread as well.

Bring it back to the main forum! I would love to have Ricky Rubio as Miller's understudy. Kid even makes the game fun to watch with all his trick moves.

can the mods bring this back to the main forum?

Rubio belongs in this forum,where people know about his game.I mean what a question,"does anybody know of him?"He is a great defender and a very clever player,the two things which are most normally absent in kids that young.He has been playing in the ACB since he was 14!
Doubletech you should watch more international basketball,we are not letting anybody down.

ricky rubio's last night statline in ULEB cup against more than decent team (albeit in a close loss): 29 points on 10/11 shooting:eek: , 1o assists, 3 steals.

just :bowdown:

[PFF]

I've been on his bandwagon 4ever (ok, like a year)

[gg1527]

hi folks.....can anybody give me a heads-up on how to find Ricky Rubio memorabilia????....jersey,programs etc.....the only connection I have is through his team...and..there is a bit of a language barrier.....nothing on e-bay.....any ideas????.......any help would be hugely appreciated....gg1527gg2@yahoo.com......thanks GG........ps......yeah.....put me in the "Rubio is Next" club......

[DCL]

his shooting form is really atrocious. he looks like a guy who never had a shooting coach, but he just kept on practicing his bad form and keeping bad habits because he was decent with it. it's going to be hard to unlearn those bad habits later on since he's not 15 anymore. his shot also isn't a very quick release. he takes way too long to set it up. he's not a quick pull up trigger. he also jumps like 2 inches high off his jump shots, barely off his toes from the ground... kinda like sam perkins style except he's not tall and this kid isn't a "smooth" release but looks frigid and figety. a semi-fast defender can easily stop that slower and low release. but on the floor with the ball - he's got some handles and flavor. i see a little manu when he's driving towards the basket. he can dunk in a breakaway, but he's not really a flier. most layups aren't very acrobatic and he doesn't get very high off the ground and he looks like he's stretching for his life to get the ball up. so he's only 18 and 6'4" 180lb? comparing him to nba vets is wrong, but i if i compare him to an 18-year-old 6'3" 170lb monta ellis fresh out of high school, this guy looks pretty weak sauce.

[''Pistol Pete'']

180 pounds my ass.

No elevation on his jumper.

Great WNBA prospect.

[simasu01]

Wait til he gets there, Rubio is European, his games isn't like Monta Ellis, look at what he was doing in the Euro U Championships, you think Ellis could do anything like that?

[GoldMedallist]

Ricky will be awesome. He will probably in Europe a couple of years, he have much to improve, but he will sure do.

You said shooting. Have you seen, for example, the incredible improvement from Calderon? (he was a bad one, and in a pair of years he is moving in Steve Nash's percentages). He can change his shooting, he is far younger than Calderon.

He is young, smart, a great playmaker and an awesome defender. He will be one of the best NBA PG's, I am absolutely sure. He is far, far better than Calderon was with his age.

I mean comon Fernandez is 6'6 - 172 lbs and you're going to tell me that Ricky Rubio is two inches shorter and 8 pounds heavier? Hahaha!

[ryantheporchkid]

He's got to work on speeding up that jumper. Thought the same when I first saw him at 15. Good prospect.

[la bomba]

you guys don't have a clue.the guy is 16 or 17 and he is fantastic,a great defender better than any other player at his age.give the guy a break,i just hope he never goes to the NBA however thats wishful thinking,unfortunately players have this thing with trying out the NBA.

[simasu01]

I agree with la bomba, but there's a point going to the NBA, just like everyone that comes to America: MAKE MONEY. NBA is dying for Rubio and other young Euros, the so-called "Dream Team" cannot place higher than third, and times look to be far worse for usa with Lithuania, Spain, and Serbia coming with great talent. Rubio is one of them, others aren't too far behing, I'll give you people another name to remember: Donatas Motiejunas, I believe he is 17, he won't play in the Olympics this summer unfortunately, but in 2009 I think he'll play in the Euros.

[la bomba]

rudy is 1.96m and Ricky Rubio is 1.90m so yeah about 2 inches separate them.as for the weight I don't know,but is it important?they are very different players.Both great and if they both stay in Badalona and they qualify for the euroleague(tough as it is for them,as Unicaja and TAU have guaranteed spots due to their results in previous years,and real madrid look like they are going to finish top of the regular season which gives them an automatic spot,so they basically have to either win the ACB or finish runner up to any of these teams)they will have a good a run in it.

Some scouts compares him to the great Pistol Pete during his younger years.

It could be a blasphemy to compare Ricky with Pistol Pete, but it is also idiotic to compare him with Belinelli or Adam Morrison. Have you ever seen the kid play?

[b.jerk]

Some of these people saying that Ricky Rubio can only be average can't accept the reality in today's era of globalization that a foreign kid has the the same opportunities to be the best player in the world than an american. His future depends on the decisions he makes, if he has a good plan and treats basketball as a daily job he could even possibly be the best basketball player in the world at some point in his career even if I don't believe that's likely. For those that say the kid doesn't have the athleticism, I just want to say we live in the steroid and growth hormone era of sports and often times the skinny kid that juices is a better athlete than the athletically inclined kid that juices.

[berraco]

Everytime someone brings up the lack of athleticism against a PG I say myself, yeah, that's why Steve Nash is that bad.

Being able to dunk is the "trump card" in basketball and it gives an advantage of always controlling the outcome. In the past you couldn't teach and train people to jump or be faster but that's different in todays world.

like in todays game between khimki and DKV Moiso had an easy alley oop and he hit the back of the ring and the ball ended up in his own court whilst trying to slamdunk it! i would have just layed it in and got 2 points.
Anyway Ricky and Rudy were great in this game .to go to khimki who beat cska in the russian cup and win by 23 is pretty good.

Ok I'll watch out for it but you can watch it on euroleague.net
ricky has been one of the only good things about spain's participation so far.If you judge someone's value and ability on how high he can dunk it from then you and I watch different games.

[dd24]

I bet Ricky tears Jennings up. It is so tough to say what either guy will become. They are both so young it's impossible for anybody to know what will happen. Ricky will certainly be a pro. It's too early to know if he'll be an all-star caliber player. He still has a few years to develop his game. I think with that experience he would be a high lottery pick. Who knows though, he may be able to make more money in the Euroleague. Maybe he doesn't even try to go to the NBA.

Ricky is still 17!youngest ever olympic medal.The guy plays with inmense maturity,thats the most unbelievable facet of his game.Today he played most of the final against the strongest possible opponents and he did not flinch or show any nerves.I loved his drive against kidd.

Joventud will fight for him to respect his clause.I have lost a lot of respect for Rubio,if he wasn't happy with that clause he shouldn't have signed!I hope that Ricky has to pay those 4.7 million euros! The NBA teams have a restriction on cash transactions for players of 500,000 dollars,thats their problem! If olympiakos or barca wanted to sign him they would have to come up with 4.7 million euros,so let the NBA team come up with it,by paying Ricky that money on top,otherwise tough.Ricky if he wanted to go to the NBA he shouldnt have signed the clause.

[dd24]

Yeah, but this is something that happens in all sports all around the world. Players get bought out, want to be traded, or want to get show cased more so they can sign a good extension. Even though they sign contracts there are ways out and the players try to use them. Sports are a business.

This is what was in the rumors today:


Spanish teenager Ricky Rubio, projected as a top-five pick in the NBA draft, took the first step in clearing his way toward the NBA on Monday when he notified his team, DKV Joventut, that he wants to terminate his contract. Rubio is asking out of his deal, and also is challenging a 4.75 million Euro (approximately $6.6 million) buyout, which climbs to 5.75 million Euros after June 30. Rubio made 70,000 Euros last season (about $97,000) and is scheduled to make 125,000 Euros next season (about $175,000).

Rubio hasn't filed a lawsuit. Instead, he has asked for arbitration to settle the dispute. A source said that Rubio has retained a highly regarded labor law firm in Barcelona to represent him. If the dispute cannot be settled, a civil legal action would be next for Rubio.

The source told ESPN.com that Spanish law allows an athlete to terminate his contract with a team and then pay an indemnity (or buyout) to his team. Both Spanish law and FIBA regulations allow for Rubio to get his letter of clearance to play in the NBA before the amount of the indemnity amount is determined.

If an arbitrator agrees with Rubio and lowers the buyout, Rubio would likely be headed to the NBA next season. If the arbitrator rules that Rubio's indemnity payment to the Joventut is reasonable, it may convince Rubio to stay in Spain another year.ESPN.com

That's a crazy amount of money for a buyout when someone isn't making that much to begin with. My best guess is they find a cheaper way out.

[vittor14]

incredible...if you sign a document you have to do all like appear in it.to earn more not problem...but now he want the liberty free....young but not silly...

If its a crazy amount why did they sign?? You can't just sign thinking oh it's a crazy clause they will change it.If you sign it you you stick to it. He wants to go,he has to pay or the NBA has to pay for his services. In football you get the likes of Messi when he was on a lot less money than now with 180 million euro clauses,they are meant to be ridiculous so that no team dares sign him,and if the player signs it he knows that he is going to have to see out his contract,if he doesnt want to see out his contract he shouldnt have signed it.

[dd24]

I'm not here to say whether it's right or wrong. I am just saying we see situations like this in sports and typically the player gets out of the contract. Why did he sign you ask.... what other choice did he have? Was he offered all kinds of other contracts? You have to admit that is a bad deal.

of coz he had choices.like going to other teams

[dd24]

With worse contracts more than likely. Plus I'm sure he wanted to play for a place that when he tried to cash his checks they didn't bounce.

[bdreason]

It's in the best interest of the team to get this deal done as well.

If Ricky is forced to return, he could simply go into tank mode.

worse deals? bouncy cheques? what are you on about? He would get better deal in barcelona than any nba team and I assure you they wouldn't bounce!
he wouldnt even have to move!

[la bomba]

Very strong possibility that Ricky will play for Unicaja this season and he next,with the great coach that played him at 14 in Badalona,Aito Garcia Reneses. This would be great for him as he would continue his progress before making the move to the NBA.Plus he wouldn't have to play for his own stats ,he will actually be playing to win competitions.

[b.jerk]

I don't see Ricky Rubio fitting in the nba. You have to play where you're wanted and he's more wanted in Spain than the nba. It's a major disadvantage with the give/get ratio of fouls for international players in the nba. I saw the Kings/Warriors game and someone like Casspi doesn't get a call for him on either end of floors as other guys get bailed out six or seven times a game.

I only wish Ricky Rubio saw it that way and never left europe,but that is not going to happen. In Spain Barca,Madrid and Unicaja all interested.I don't think he will play in Badalona as they need the money.

[Slam1]

Ricky Rubio for my money will be over in the NBA next year. It's his goal to play there so I think in the end it will be too much too pass up. He will most likely not be back with Badolana there is too much bad blood there but I could see him playing for another ACB team.

Villacampa asked the question "if I have a better offer from madrid why am I going to accepts barca?" that is quite frankly naive,because the player has said no to madrid but yes to barca,so for joventud its either 3million or nothing and they need the money.1 thing you get from that, is that he would accept 3.5 which was madrid's offer.Unicaja's offer is full of compromises like Ricky would have to do 3 years and his buyout clause before that would be similar to now.Barca offer ricky 5 years but his clause goes down significantly and his salary up after the 2nd year.plus his aim is to stay in catalunya before he goes to the NBA.I have no doubt that he will play for barcelona.
