Team USA had taken a close look at European “Wonder Boy” Ricky Rubio during their exhibition game against Spain. No less than coach Mike Krzyzewski was impressed with the over-all improvement of Rubio since he last saw him during the Beijing Olympics. The American mentor believes that the 6-3 Barcelona sensation has the making of a great NBA guard, according to Sports Illustrated.

“He's gotten bigger and he plays outstanding defense, and because he's a pass-first guard - he's going to be liked by everybody who plays with him. He's improved his shooting and he's not afraid.”
