Meet Ricky Rubio
23 June 2009
Long-awaited Spanish point guard phenom Ricky Rubio is bringing his game to the United States. The 18 year-old, 6’ 4”, 180 lb. point guard with the Beatles hair from Spain's Joventut Badalona will be up for the taking in Thursday night's NBA Draft.
You’ll probably remember the Spanish Sensation, as he’s known overseas, for his strong off the bench performance in the gold medal game against Team USA during the 2008 Summer Games. Before then the only other way we could see him play was by searching for videos online. And any quick search of his name will uncover exactly why his style of play is perfect for the States. Ricky’s behind-the-back passes, blinding speed and defensive ability in creating steals are going to make him one of the premiere rookies to watch next season. Until then check out the videos below and get familiar.
