    Ricky Rubio scored or assisted on 41 of Wolves 68 points in his 31 minutes on Fri. Minny outscored Miami by 9 with him out there.

    it wasn't his mistake, come on.

    Ellington guarded Wade, Rubio guarded Shane. Shane set the pick, Ellington stucked, Rubio had to switch but it was already tooooooooo late.

    Miami put Lebron on him at the end. That's respect.

    I wasn't sold on him, but his shooting has improved enough to keep teams honest. You guys were right, he's going to be a star. Morey really knows how to scout.

    great game by Rubio, but the Heat weren't playing him right. Expose his lack of speed and explosion by playing more press and forcing the ball out of his hands, and on the offensive side, just post him up every single play with Wade/Battier/Lebron.

    He'll look much worse before he looks better once teams start to scout him and gameplan for him properly. His relative lack of athleticism coupled, poor shooting, and lack of strength will hurt him once teams start to exploit these facts.

    rubio is the best point in the game as far as passing the ball is concerned. cp3 gets it done in other ways, by drawing the defense to him. rubio doesn't need to draw the defense, he sees things no one else does on the floor.

    I've always thought Rubio was a stuck up spoiled brat for wanting to play in Europe and holding out on the NBA. I can see why now.

    I think now I'd rather root for him rather than the other young up-and-coming superstars (i.e. Griffin, Rose, T-Will).

    Rubio impressed me. No longer is he overrated.
    Well actually... he is getting even more overrated now with people trying to say he's better than Rose and CP3.

    He's got potential Nash passing skills. Shooting has to improve though.

    at passing he is.

    At veteran savvy, he has a long way to go.

    it's like saying blake is better than dirk now. in some aspects he is, however in the last two minutes i want dirk on my squad.

    Tell that to Steve Nash. This kid will get use to the NBA and will improve.
