People have Ricky Rubio going second and third is the latest. This guy is smaller and weaker than all the other point gaurds in the draft. Is he really worth a top three pick? He probably would still play for his international team even if he gets drafted because of the money. I think Brandon Jennings was right when he said Rubio was overrated. He doesn't have the shot to be a Steve Nash, and doesn't have the toughness to get rebounds like Jason Kidd. The NBA is becoming more Europeanized, but the level of athletic ability and talent is a whole different ball game. Not everyone can be Dirk Nowitzki overnight, so i don't see why people waste lottery picks on overseas players that continue to play overseas when they're drafted.
