Minnesota's Unrequited Love for Ricky Rubio
ESPN.com - TrueHoop — ... Just minutes later, his father was quoted in the Spanish newspaper Marca saying it was probable Rubio would not come to the NBA this year. Translated, he said: "He might go now or he might remain [in Europe] one more year ... or even two. It's all open, although the most likely scenario is that he stays in Europe more time.

First reaction about the NBA Draft and the Heels
The 5th Corner — ... think that what Dick Vitale said about “playing both Rubio and Flynn together” is spot on: moves like that get you some wins and your head coach fired.

Will Ricky Rubio Join the Wolves’ Point Guard Army?
SLAM Online — ... scenario for Ricky and his family. David Kahn and the Timberwolves confusingly took both Rubio and Jonny Flynn (who’s even shorter) in back-to-back picks. Everyone assumed they would trade one of them — which obviously didn’t happen — before it dawned on us all: The Timberwolves drafted two point guards! Brilliant.

NBA Draft Results And Reactions
FanIQ Blog — ... For starters, their #18 pick, Ty Lawson, is as good as gone, as the word on the street is that they'll ship him to Denver to learn under living legend Chauncey Billups. It looks like Ricky Rubio may be staying in Spain for another year or two (the article in the link is in Spanish, so consider yourself warned), so perhaps the Jonny Flynn pick wasn't that bad of a choice, since he'll have to step up during that time and run the point. ...
