Ricky Rubio- Started for the Spainish National this summer at the age of 17. Was more amazing is that he made the team at 15. The last Spainard with this much potenial was a young 7ft swingman of a SF, barely 220 pounds, lanky manboy Pau Gasol picked third to the Grizzles.
Yes Gasol had changed but he is an all star quality player, and this is what the T'Wovles hope for in Rubio. But past years has shown that at least 1 foreign player picked in the lottery hasn't been up to par in expectations.
