Ricky Rubio is a Minnesota Timberwolf

bahahaha god I love this site. Some of the rubio haters whove never watched him play make me laugh

Did you ever watch Fernandez or Navarro play or you just look into stats?
Luke Ridnour is the PG of the worst team in NBA

He's just a role player, not that great, but he is a starter in this league for nearly a generation.

The thought of Navarro or Fernandez consistently starting on any NBA team makes me nauseous. Navarro chucked it up one season and knew he wasn't NBA material. Fernandez can't even get consistent playing time even though he is basically the only healthy player on the Blazers.

Congrat Timberwolf and welcome to the NBA RR.

Complete a package deal with Lakers. Give them Flynn or Ridnour and whatever else for Bynum

that article should have mentioned Rubio was getting no PT for Barcelona, so no wonder he chose to take the TWolves offer.

I just don't get how a dude who can't even start in a euro league, and gets awful stats can be some sought after player and hyped in the NBA

I don't get the hype. He can't even start for Barcelona and his stats are fawful

Apparently you don't either. Ridnour would be a very good back up PG which he is going to be now.

I think that people are just saying he's overhyped -- which is absolutely true. I watched him playing in the 2008 Olympics, the only sample he has against NBA competition. Truthfully, I'm less than impressed.

Rubio did throw some nice passes and displayed good court awareness, but I absolutely do not think he'll be able to do the same things on a night-in-night-out basis in the league.

He has no physique/strength and will get abused defensively by just about every point guard he goes up against. He doesn't have quick enough feet to stay in front an average (or even below-average) guard, so you have someone who cannot be counted on for major minutes -- too much of a liability.

When teams actually get a chance to scout him properly, those pin-point passes are going to be much, much harder to pull off.

So, if he is a huge liability defensively, and will struggle to get his passes through, what exactly is he? How will he help the 'Wolves?

It will be interesting to see what happens, and I would like to be wrong about this kid, but I don't think that I am.

basically, its the same roster from last year with but with the addition of an overrated piece of trash PG.

Derrick Williams is nonexistent eh?



at coming back 40 minutes later to edit that post.

Derrick isn't even on the Wolves radar.

Johnny Flynn needs to get the **** out of Minnesota as soon as possible. He had a great rookie year, then the injury slowed him down. Now he is playing behind Luke, and next season, he will also have to play behind Rubio. I can see him getting only 10 minutes per game.

[Euroleague]

One of the worst players in the Euroleague, clearly one of the worst point guards in the Euroleague and this idiot Kahn can't wait to sign him?

It's official. David Khan is the worst general manager in US sports history.

Say what you will about Ricky, but you can't deny that he's always looked at least solid against Team USA. He even had some spectacular moments against them.

Team USA is known as one of the worst defensive national teams in the world. He sees about 5 times harder defense in Euroleague.
