Am I the only one who really doesn't see it with this guy? One huge hype train but his highlights are frankly, quite disappointing.

I'm with you.

Poor mans Rubio.

Tbh i feel the same way.. Really don't see how people would think he's a top pick..
I'd rather see the lakers take wiggins/Parker/randle etc over him

Also, is he even playing now? Or just fu*king around at the AIS?

[MichaelCorleone]

Like how Kobe pouted and demanded to play in LA, lil baby didn't want to play ball in Charlotte.

He's training in Los Angeles.

how does Rubio fit into what you're saying?

He had a contract with Barcelona and if he left earlier Wolves would have had to pay.

It's true wanted to stay one more year in Spain but that wasn't because he didn't want to play for the Wolves, he knew he was going to the Wolves the year after, him and everyone.

Of course everyone in Spain including himself thought he would have been drafted a bit higher but Rubio is happy to be in the Wolves.

How can you fault someone that young for wanting to play a certain team? Getting on the right team, being comfortable and developing right is worth millions.

how would the draft go if players got to chose where to play?

[AintNoSunshine]

Yes it's annoying as fukk, small market teams stay sukking even though they have the lottery year after year

[KrizMiz]

Watch the Lakers get the #1 overall pick and ruin Exum's plan on being a Laker.

this would be the best thing ever to happen

Rubio is one of the most hated prospects to ever come out of Europe.

Back when he was drafted and stayed in Spain about 90% of people on this board would call him entitled, spoiled bitch, scared, weak minded etc.
This lead into people saying he wasn't good enough for the NBA, that what people saw a few years earlier in the Olympics was a fluke.

It only goes for internationals, as in if you stay in Europe like Ricky did a year or two you are weak minded and scared. But if a college player makes a decision to stay an extra year he's "developing his game" and apparently doing something positive. It's complete hypocrisy.

OKC is a small market team and they've drafted extremely well.

NO is a small market team and they were given AD (easy pick) and traded away a possibly very bright future when they traded Nerlens for Jrue.

Cleveland AB, TT, and Waiters over a lot of better picks.

Drafting/Scouting matters a lot and it's clear that some organizations are much better drafters than others which is huge.
