Ricky Rubio, number 5 draft pick to Minnesota Timberwolves

Forecasts put him among the number 3 and 4, but ultimately never Oklahoma City Thunder and the Sacramento Kings chose to gain the services of Spanish and was selected by Minnesota Timberwolves. Víctor Claver and Sergio Llull were also selected.

We do not know what will Ricky Rubio, whether staying in the DKV Joventut or make the leap to the NBA. It must be said that a seat so high it is safest to ensure minutes, many minutes in your rookie season, unless you like Darko Milicic, Detroit Pistons No. 2 the year of LeBron James and all his colleagues.

The main reason is handled by selected not Ricky Rubio is before his big break clause with DKV, although this is a topic that will eventually reach an agreement by the pressure of the player. The Minnesota Timberwolves are, today, a team without a coach desesctructurado, and the base station equipped with Sebastian Telfair, who really like the fans but against Ricky Rubio should have no problem in taking jobs from anything that give it a chance. And he will take if given the jump, which is number 5 in the draft, the highest Spanish election except for Pau Gasol, with the number 3 in 2001.

If you play in the Wolves, do not expect anything except walk through the regular season playing and improving as a player, as the team could not aspire nor aspire to anything else. Also, Mike Miller had been traded to the Washington Wizards for precisely this choice number 5. You can not say that a lot of quality in the Minneapolis team. Another option being considered is that the New York Knicks throw the all out to seek the transfer of Ricky Rubio, who would be great news for Spanish, you should have no doubt leap is met. With a playing style fun, fast, effective, at the wheel of a coach who knows European basketball as Mike D'Antoni, and one of the best known teams in the world in New York, would be an ideal destination for Ricky Rubio. We'll see what happens in a few days and decides the Masnou-born player.

Moreover, Victor Claver, in his 20s, was selected by Portland Trail Blazers at number 22, although the player has already said he will throw two more years in the Pamesa Valencia before taking the leap to the NBA . Portland is still the destination of the Spanish, where if you have played key already four of us. In Memphis "only" have played three, although they have the rights of Raul Lopez.

And then Sergio Llull was selected in the second round, as 34 by Denver Nuggets, but his rights were traded to Houston Rockets. And eye, because it is a very good destination for the player. It was Rafer Alston and not having a security base, and while Sergio Llull not going to be an NBA star, can do well in Houston Rockets, supported by an acquaintance of the CBA as Luis Scola.

Incidentally, the number 1 draft pick Blake Griffin was known, power forward, who played in the poor relation of the Lakers, the Clippers. The number 2, the Memphis Grizzlies, was for Hasheem Thabeet, a center of 2.21 that will rival in the rotation of Marc Gasol.
