I was booing.
Half the people left after the pick. There was a big cheer when Harden went 3. There were cheers whenever Rubio was on the screen. No cheers when Evans was. So you tell me who those people wanted.
It doesnt really matter what they wanted.
The only reason they wanted Rubio is because of the name recognition. I guarantee you the crowd would go crazy if they selected Stephen Curry just because of the name recognition.
Yes, Rubio can very well turn out to be an amazing player. But, he IS a gamble.
The fans did not see the workouts, did not scout Rubio overseas and so forth, so I'm pretty sure Petrie knew a lot more than what us fans knew.
