Minnesota Timberwolves franchise player Kevin Love will play a vital role in luring Spanish wonder boy Ricky Rubio to finally play in the NBA. Rubio was the sixth over-all pick of the Timberwolves in the 2009 draft but has opted to remain in Spain for the last two seasons. He is currently playing for the FC Barcelona squad in the tough Spanish League. Love and Rubio had become close friends during the last FIBA World Championships in Turkey last summer, according to the Minneapolis Star-Tribune.
“I still text him every now and then. Not too often, once or twice a month. I've always said I hope he comes over sooner rather than later so we can get this thing started. He's not 6-5 or 6-4 like they say he is. He's more like 6-3, but you can tell he has really long arms. That helps him make passes and being able to defend, too. He gets his hands on a lot of balls.”
