i can see nash in him BUT he lacks great decision making, and i don't think he'll ever be able to shoot like nash, it's nash's shooting that makes the defender think on whether to stay on him or play for the pass.
his game is really european. idk if he could make the move to the NBA. His jumpshot is bad!!!!!! I thiink he has a better chance staying in europe. Besides if he was NBA ready, he would be starting for the twolves instead of jonny flynn. Jonny Flynn would destory him easy and simple sadly. Idk why the twolves made this draft pick. His passing game is cold but.... he would be a average pg in the league.
@djsvchost Overrated: A word easy to say when you don´t have arguments. / Piece of shit: Short expression that you can use about 1 guy of 16yo who win an olympic silver medal while you are watching it on your couch.
@cavaleer Yes, of course! You´re an expert of basket,sure... All the coachs, managers and NBA players that said it (future of NBA) only has played against him, or saw him all the last season. But you only need a four minutes video to meet the capacity of each player..; "Let´s see...european...mmm... white... mmm... hs´s not called Gasol?...mmm... bad player" Idiot.
@Chicolinx White?? Dude, I don't play that lame shyt. If you have a problem with anyone it's the fool who labelled this video. Like I said, the kid is good for a Euro and he's clearly studied Americans, from Bob Cousey and Pistol Pete to Magic and Isaiah....but his moves aren't even special for America.
The only reason you said what you wrote and the author of this video gave it this ridiculous title is because he's Euro. He didn't prove anything against Team USA when he had the chance.
@cavaleer First chance was on the olympic final 2008 USA (better than last one in my opinion)- Spain. He was the 1st PG of Spain and made a really good final against J.Kidd and C.Paul playing 30min with only 17yo. Search on Youtube; "Ricky Rubio - Take me out". Last world Cup was the unique PG of Spain (injuries). It´s true that the title of the vid is absurd, but sure that he gonna be special on the NBA. Similar to Pete Maravich.
@Chicolinx He's a nice point guard who has studied the Masters of the game and learned fairly well but he isn't and won't be anywhere near Pistol Pete. He might have a decent career though. Might. In the Olympics he looked slow and without a serious jump shot or at least the threat of shooting off the dribble, he's not going to do much. The only thing he has in common with Pistol Pete is long, shaggy brown hair and big nose. That's it. This doesn't mean he can't play though. He's good.
@Chicolinx He might be decent in the NBA although he looked slow in the Olympics. Our guards ate his moves all day long, so it's hard to say. But the fact that he hasn't even tried to come to the NBA says a great deal. Meanwhile a bona fide talent, Brandon Jennings, went to Europe at 18 then came straight to NBA and is BALLIN'. So until this kid wants to walk the walk fools like you need to STFY and stop talking.
Rubio is great passer, has nice court vision and he's average at getting to the rim. However his jumper is realy bad - slow, ugly and unconsistent. If he doesn't improve his speed, shooting skills, and strenght he has no chance becoming premiere PG in NBA at near future. For now there are many PG's so much better then him - CP3, DWill, Rondo, Nash, Rose, Baron Davis, Westbrook, Billups and soo much more.
well, he's still young, and after his career in europe, i think he'll be decent in the NBA, his passing is solid and can distribute the ball on the open court, NBA digs that kind of stuff. and ppl talk about his relatively small size and skinny, but looking at steve nash, jason kidd, jennings, nowadays size doesn't really count as much on the guard position, and despite their size, these players can all be tough throughout the game, their court vision and driving does count more.
ctd.. but how do you destroy a guy that is gonna drop 10-15 assists you your team.. they arent good engough defenders to force more than 1or2 turnovers out of him.. and it doesnt matter that they are faster and can jump higher than him when hes just gonna pick and roll all day on you... i doubt rubio will get a carreer average ppg of more than 10 but his assist could be at 10 or more and he is a future perenial all nba defensive team type player.. shooting and strength are his ownly flaws..
i was expecting my kings to draft him, but honestly im glad we didnt.. even though he wanted to come to sactown he wouldnt have been able to.. people talk shit on him because he had to stay in spain.. they act like he was afraid lol.. of what? id love to know.. he just didnt have the money for it to work out... and but 2 years from now(twolves will have traded his draft rights by then) he will come into the league and explode.. ppl wanna say "ohh rose would destroy him or wall would destroy him"
you people dont understand how good this guy is.....its very hard to find someone that can past and defend at his high level and he is only 18 with alot of experience.....and u cannot compare college basketball to professional basketball .....this guy played against the best of the NBA in the olympics and he did dam good,i high doubt that any new NBA point guard could go up against a Chris Paul and Jason Kid and do that good
they should have agree with a transfer with some percentage in a next sale. went greedy... now he's in barcelona for 3.5 mil and he's dead for the nba. barcelona is not going to let him go.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Rubio is a little bitch. He will not make it in the NBA. Any little pussy that tells teams he will refuse to play on their team is a pussy. LOL look what happened? Number 5? hahahaha he is a joke.
He didn't refuse, he has to figure out how to pay his team in Spain 6 million dollars. ^ million dollars for a team that drafted 3 other point guards. Hes still a kid, his dad is making the decisions for him it looks like.
This guy might be amazing in his league, but it will take a great deal of time before he can achieve that same status in the NBA. He needs to bulk up big time if he wants to stand a chance to compete.
he needs a jump shot in the nba. Pretty good handles but needs. I just don't see the hype in this kid. Average back- up PG in the league but it would be nice to prove me wrong>
he will prove you wrong, no doubt, also don't forget his main strenght relies on he's aged 18 yet a long way to improvement, all europe got blown away by this kid and so will nba, trust me...vamos ricky numero 1 del draft
this guy is one of the futures point guards of the nba. this guy played professionall at 14 i believe. internationally but still a great achievement. he has so many weapons. him and drose and chris paul are the future. RR is a straight beast.he doesnt need athleticism hes a passer and he will get in the weightroom so he will become stronger. hes going to be great and only get better. good luck ricky. i am a big fan of you
rubio will have an easier time spotting teammates because the nba game is so spread out but he will have a difficult time creating against more athletic guards. u cant compare rubio to steve nash because nash is a threat every night because of his shooting. nash uses a combination of his quickness, court vision, body positioning and shooting to put up the numbers he always does. if rubio wants to be a steve nash he will have to develop that kind of shooting
Do I care about the sub-par Euro leagues? NO. The kid looks talented, let's see how he does against the best players in the world. He got eaten alive in the Olympics.
