Rubio agrees to join T-Wolves

Spanish young gun Ricky Rubio has agreed to terms with the Minnesota Timberwolves to play in the NBA next season (if it goes ahead).

Report: Ricky Rubio will play for Wolves

"Rubio averaged a modest 6.5 points per game on 39 percent shooting while dealing with a foot injury. With Rubio coming off the bench, Regal Barcelona has reached the Spanish League finals, meaning it will likely be mid to late June before he can be introduced by the Timberwolves, who think he will flourish in the more wide-open NBA, where guards are allowed much more freedom on the perimeter."

Rubio IMO will be nothing special in the NBA, although I do believe he will be a solid starter at some point in the next couple of years. Too much hype surrounding a player that was average for a very good team in a very good European league.

This kid is gonna cop it from the US media if he doesn't set the world on fire. Feel sorry for him, so much youtube hype.

His shot is better and he is one of the best behind the back passers going around, but he has definitely come back to the pack.

Already racked up a few Triple Doubles and a Quad Double prior to injury.

I don't think he will develop in Minnisota.

I think he'll play there for a few years and if he doesn't get put off and goes back to Europe, he'll get picked by someone like Portland, or LA or something.

Agree with Big Marty

Insert Sergio Rodriguez

Big youtube hype and worlds hype, not a huge impact in the NBA.
