For me, I dunno. Dude was getting OWN3D against team USA in the Championship game. But then again, dude is 6'4 and has excellent ball-handling skills. Isthis dude worth a top 5 pick?
Is RICKY RUBIO "Teh Goods"?

I personally don't like him for some reason
and I would probably be pissed off if the knicks pick him

He just reminds me of a kid.. that's why I can't get on his bandwagon. I know he plays with men over there.. but I'm not sure he'll succeedagainst athletic freaks over here. Hopefully he comes over though I'm intrigued.
Jennings though? I dunno about his pro prospects, but I'm rooting for him. I love his game.

He was 17 and he didn't get owned. I hope he succeeds

He needs a consistent weight/diet program, but he's got a decent frame... He should be able to carry some more weight and bulk up without any serioussetbacks...

How can you say you don't like him or think he won't succeed if you haven't really seen him play except for a couple of games?

For a 17 year old, he held his own pretty well...

Maybe in 5 years he will be pretty good...not worth a top 10 pick if you have to wait 5 years IMO.

Easily the top pg in this draft, won't slip out of the top 3.
I pray the Knicks somehow could get dude, he was made to be D'antoni's pg

On top of all that he played the entire 2nd half with a busted hand I believe. I believe he will be the best PG in the draftOriginally Posted by Nowitness41Dirk

Honestly the people who have said they don't like him haven't said one reason why... Not to make assumptions, well $#@! it, it seems people don'tlike him because he's from overseas... Like Smush Parker, are you kidding me?
He's vision and handles are amazing, his upside is incredible considering he's 17, he's been playing against competition that is much better thenhigh school kids and probably most college teams, he's played against NBA comp. and held his own, he can finish with both hands, he's 6'3,he's quick, like what more do you want from an NBA prospect? Yes he needs to add weight but that will come. So many people were so impressed with guys likeBassy, Conley, TJ Ford, etc. when they were in college/high school and they don't have half the skill set Rubio has yet Rubio gets disliked, for what?Having a decent showing against Chris Paul and Deron Williams? I for one would love for him to be on the Knicks. Him and LeBron
would be incredible running D'Antoni's offense.

Or the exact opposite, even.
Who really knows what to expect? I'd venture to say not many people on here.
My cousin lives out in Barcelona and he's a huge bball head and he's been raving about him. I have a couple of his tapes of him playingfor Joventut that my cousin sent me, but they're on tapes and I don't know how to get them on my comp.

he's all potential right now, still a long way from being a contributor. he did look good in the olympics, but his numbers this year in euroleaguedon't look that good. let's hope he's not another darko and skita, loads of potential, no real game experience.

Prob the best pure PG prospect from overseas ever. Think of a quicker and better Jose Chaulderon. I'd love him on the Knicks. Dude needs to bulk up and addsome jump on his jumper. Other than that he's awesome. Plus he's a thief in the passing lanes.

he's great. i'm not going to judge him off of his Euroleague stats or anything like that. it's clear that the kid can ball. he has the completeskillset, just needs to bulk up a little bit more.
IMO, Rubio and Blake Griffin are the only ones who should be locks as top 2 picks. everyone else should be looking to trade up, unless they have a specificneed.
if the Wizards land with #2, it'd be great if we could draft Rubio for the PG spot. move Gilbert to the 2, watch out Eastern conference

For real, just from everything you've heard about him, he'd be ideal for D'Antoni's system in New York...
Wonder if they'd take two "high-risk" Euros two years in a row, though...
