NBA Draft 2009

Nice mix there, Rik. :) Is there already a thread about him somewhere?

There was a thread about him on schoenen-dunk.de 2 years ago. He played in Ludwigsburg and Stuttgart in junior teams and was a member of the Baden-Württemberg state selection, but the german federation seems to have completely forgotten about him while Portugal, France and Cameroon had already talked to him back then.

The thread.

If he makes it to the NBA in some years, the DBB will probably try to naturalize him. :rolleyes:
 
Rubio did play decent against the world in the last olympics. He'd also arguably be the #1 PG to be taken in this draft.
 
Another Spaniard, Pamesa Valencia's Victor Claver, will also join the draft.

Bad decision!!! We can see a lot of inexperience in his performances (last DKV's game he made 6 TO's), the best decision is to stay in Europe...

i agree with you. the kid is so talented but he is still raw to show his stuff in NBA. . . As he is skinny, he needs to bulk up a bit. . .
 
Milwaukee is rumored to be shopping Michael Redd for a point guard and word on Hoopsworld said, Chicago is interested by unloading Hinrich while Milwaukee is after DeMar DeRozan or James Harden.

Also, 88.1% that OKC Thunders will land the draft rights for "The Terminator" Blake Griffin.

Milwaukee could possibly get Rubio in the draft if they trade up.

Are those the Las Vegas odds? Is the NBA cooking something up here?

I've read that and based my statement on Hoopsworld and Draftexpress insights. Still the original author (draftexpress) will certainly re-arrange the statistical ration as the Sacramento Kings are now projected to have a good chance in landing the #1 pick overall in the lottery.
