Rubio to play for Timberwolves
Ricky Rubio has finally agreed to play for the Minnesota Timberwolves after holding out for two years to play overseas.
Rubio was a high draft pick of the Timberwolves but was less than pleased when he found out where he would be playing.
It’s welcome news for the Timberwolves, a franchise that has failed to make much progress despite drafting in the top five almost every year lately.
The Timberwolves are pretty set in the low post, but point guard is a different story. Rubio is a playmaker who can get the ball to the team’s primary scorers, guys like Kevin Love and Michael Beasley.
It’s a strange time to make such an announcement considering that the NBA might be steamrolling its way to a lockout and many players have said they would play overseas if there is no basketball come the fall.
