Ricky Rubio's pre-season debut

Rubio had six points, seven assists and six rebounds in 23 minutes, eliciting chants of "Ole! Ole! Ole! Ole!" in the fourth quarter in homage to his Spanish roots.
Boxscore

Bogut had 9 and 6 in 26 minutes.

I saw the game. Darko (who has the ability to be an upper-echelon defensive C when he wants to be) played Bogut pretty well for stretches. It remains to be seen if he can keep his focus through the season and not regress back into mope mode though.

Minny as a whole (a lot of that was on Ricky, D Thrill, and JJB) was fun to watch - but it is PS and i am not putting too much stock in one single game - but as a long suffering Wolves fan it was encouraging.

Adelman like like Rubio was worth the wait (struggling with coaches of McHale and Rambis' caliber),

I assume that is ex-Sixer Ron Howard on Milwaukee's bench?
What exactly does he do that would have him on the verge of being on an NBA roster?

I think Ron Howard might be there because offensively he is very skilled, averaged 20+ points in the D-League 2 seasons ago. Milwaukee is terrible offensively so it's possibly his best chance at making the roster.

Wasn't with us. Only thing I noticed he was good at was finishing a fast break. Not an overly good shooter, didn't play with much aggression, didn't like to drive it in for the layup, terrible free throw shooter etc.
Looking at his highlight package before he arrived he seemed to be able to do a lot, but I assume just chose not to when he was here. Either that or you can go down the Hoops road of blaming Marty for that too...
