Ricky Rubio Visits Sacramento, Will Work Out For Kings Wednesday
FanHouse — by Tom Ziller Filed under: Kings, NBA Draft The above comes from the Kings' official channels, but Sam Amick of the Sacramento Bee also scored an interview with Spanish wunderkind Ricky Rubio as the point guard made landfall in California.

So excited, in fact, that I'm easily more pumped to see where Ricky Rubio lands tomorrow than I am to see what happens with the Bulls. The Bulls' Thursday will likely end with Tyler Hansbrough's stupid face holding up a red jersey. As a Bulls fan, that's conservative, boring, and probably kind of smart. But as a Rubio fan, tomorrow's possibilities are endless. It's a big day for me. To be honest, what team Rubio goes to will have more impact on my life than whoever the Bulls choose to be their ...
