He's an Argentinian. Rights are owned by TAU Vitoria. Solobasket.com has a couple of good profiles on the kid by Jon de la Presa. Have to translate it to english if your espanol isn't up to par.

Nope. It was nbadraft.net back in the summer, I believe. In those days they had them projected very close one from each other in the 2009 mock draft, which was obviously a big mistake.
Nocedal is a very talented player, but it's completely unfair for anybody to be compared with Ricky Rubio. That's a load nobody should be forced to carry.

Wow, it was only about a year ago that Draftexpress were afraid to compare Ricky Rubio with any established players. Fast forward a year and you're saying that it's unfair to compare anyone to a teenage Ricky Rubio?

First, I would like to read that year-ago quote.
Second, if it does exist (which I think it's perfectly possible), the meaning would likely be very different, wouldn't it?
Third, I was refering to his peers. Obviously, I don't think anybody truly believes that estatement applaying to the likes of Steve Nash, Deron Williams or Chris Paul. For whatever reason I suspect they wouldn't feel any kind of pressure if they are somehow compared to Rubio. Just call it intuition.

You are contradicting yourself. One minute you're saying it's unfair to compare anyone to the holy Ricky Rubio and yet now you're saying there's no pressure in being compared to Rubio?
Which one is it?

I just suggest you to re-read the messages. If you try hard enough, you might even be able to understand them.
Meanwhile, I'm still interested in the quote.
