Ricky Rubio.

"He was in SLAM Magazine in April 2007 considering him the best non NBA player in the world and comparing him with Magic Johnson."

If he is anywhere near that good, it's unbelievable that he has had so little press. Guess he will be 18 next year and hit the big time. He's not on the 2008 mock draft?

[GST]

16 years old, 6'4" with a 6'9" wingspan, he is not finished growing. He sounds like the second coming of Oscar Robertson.

i've heard he's the next Pistol....

[Vafan]

Hmm, when is he draft elgible? In 2008? I guess if we don't have a top 3 pick this year, guess it wouldn't be so bad if we tank again next year to get him. So what do you think(Walter)? Just kidding.

[Atlantaholic]

the dude is only 16!

he won't be eligible until the 2009 draft... By then I'm sure that the whole world will have heard of him

[ncthompson11]

in his pictures he sure does look a lot like the pistol

[Vafan]

Pistol is probably one of my favorite player all time. Other than Nique of course.

Who knows...if we don't get our act together by then maybe we'll tank worth a d@mn then. I really like the one clip I've seen of him. Obviously special but young.
