You can quote me on this and save it for the future.Ricky Rubio will be a STUD in the league and will be a Jason Kidd/Rajon Rondo type PG.Probably not this season but in the future he will be a double double guy and will help lead my Wolves back into the playoffs.

Yeah he looks a little taller. Beas seemed to like his shoes.

I'll stick with the Jason Williams comparison. I'm sure that makes me a homer on the GB.

Beasley was probably making fun of Rubio tucking his pants into his socks.

Rubio looks around 6'5 yeah. He's tall enough to dunk fairly easily, if that's gives any indication.

The pant tucking thing...gold....so old school european

I notice his jumpshot in practice looks really good, it's not a super fast release, but not slow either, nice rotation on the ball, good arc, and almost textbook follow through. But in games, it's a little different. I think it's maybe a mental thing with him, i hope he can get that J down, because that could mean the world to him, and open a whole other dimension in his game, because he's a complete player, really his only real weakness is his shooting.
