Ricky Rubio's agent, Dan Fegan, has given the impression that Rubio will enter this June's draft. While this is not certain, and Rubio still has another 3 months to declare, lets keep our fingers crossed.

Regardless of whether we want him or not, this is only a good thing for us by adding depth to the draft and upping the odds someone good will drop to us if we do not get #1.

Absolutely, and on top of that, we dont have to deal with the repetative rubio arguments next year.

If we get the #1 pick and Rubio is there, take Rubio. Getting an elite PG is even harder than getting a good big man. Griffin has potential, but he really isn't 6'10" and we have JT already.

Another good thing about this if we get the #2 behind OK then you know we still get Rubio!

Wow! We will agree to disagree on this one.

Yeah as I have said before, if rubio enters I am very satisfied with first or second pick instead of just first before.

The possible acquisition of Ricky Rubio, should he enter the draft, is already being actively discussed in at least two other threads. Since this is just a rumor and not a done deal at this point, I'm clsoing this one.
