With the NBA draft quickly upon us, there is a lot of talk about a young 18 year old point guard from Spain possibly being one of the top five picks.
Ricky Rubio has played professionally the last four years (that’s right, since the age of 14) establishing himself as a mature-beyond-his-years player who was a dynamic distributor and one-man YouTube phenom. After seeing him play in person last month, the Sacramento Kings are focused more on Rubio's leadership ability than on his pizzazz.
"I'm only 18 years old, but I'm on the court like big big man," Rubio said of his leadership skills. "If your teammates don't respect you, you can't be a point guard, so that's very important. When you are a leader, the point guard who leads your team, your team gets better."
