I’ve followed Rubio’s career for quite some time. I can’t wait to see how his game translates to the NBA.

He blew up big time 2 years ago when he absolutely owned the U-16 European Championships. In the semifinals, he threw up a quadruple-double, but that was just the start. In the hotly contested finals game against Russia, he basically won the game on his own with an incredible 51 points, 24 rebounds, 12 assists and 7 steals. He's played in the best European domestic league (ACB) for the last 3 years, and this last year he was far and away the best point guard in the league. He's also played in the extremely competitive Euroleague for the last two years. All that, and he's only 17. With his height, his ball-handling, his floor vision, his flair and his slightly scraggly look, it's hard not to watch him and think "Pistol Pete".
