    Thanks for posting. Spain's offense looks bad. Pau and Rudy are launching 22 footers against the shot clock. Looks like they've got the win, though.

    Does somebody pay you to be grumpy? I've never seen a cranky person put so much effort into it.

    Read the box score. He didn't even play.

    I noticed you were pretty quiet after he had 12 points, 4 boards and 3 dimes in 17 minutes the other night.

    BTW, who would you have selected with that pick?

    You mean our 1st round pick Rudy Fernandez? I agree.

    Always good to see you make a rare positive post.

    I still scratch my head at some of the over-the-top hyperbole that was written about him on this board prior to the draft.

    I just wanted to see if Rubio could live up to the hype or if the pressure would crush him.

    Staying in Spain for the next 2 years is probably the smartest thing that kid ever did.

    I honestly didn't know about that game. Good for him.


    I was screaming at the tv to draft DeJuan Blair, so we will see. I was also screaming at the tv to draft A_am Morrison as well, so............

    Not just this board . . . he was drafted 5th overall in the best basketball league in the world. Meaning for that year, with all the thousands of college players (and the handful of euro and other countries) . . . Rubio was determined by experts (Minny experts if nothing else) to be the 5th best basketball prospect for 2009.

    Many people, experts and fans, think very highly of him.

    Some idiot wrote about it draft night. Blind squirrels, nuts, etc. (That's from a cliche, not a recipe for a DaRizzle threesome)

    I think he was talking about the Magic Johnson/Jason Kidd/Pete Maravich comparisons, not that he'd be a good-to-great player, or the 5th-best in this draft class.

    I would've taken him no later than #2, and only there if I had a need at PF.

    Comparing Rubio to Pistol Pete or Magic Johnson is ridiculous. I think Rubio will be ok in the NBA but it's obvious he's nothing like either of those players.
