Ailene Voisin: Kings can't forget about Rubio
Buzz up!Published: Sunday, Sep. 6, 2009 - 12:00 am | Page 1C
Spanish sensation and one-time Kings draft prospect Ricky Rubio recently
spurned the Minnesota Timberwolves for reasons that are thought to include
any or all of the following:
He hates cold weather.
He hates competition.
He hated the thought of relinquishing millions in a contractual buyout,
although the New York Knicks would have been tempting and, from the
beginning, Sacramento was his desired location.
So what this tells the Kings is that Rubio is confused, is still a kid, and
they need to be aggressive and alert. You know. As proactive and persistent
as wounded T-wolves president David Kahn, but with the backroom panache of
the San Antonio Spurs.
There's plenty of time to plot. Rubio can bolt Regal Barcelona in two years.
Though Geoff Petrie drafted a potential franchise player in Tyreke Evans, the
Memphis man-child who has NBA execs salivating over his immense talent, the
Kings basketball president can surely share a dance with the mop-haired kid
who can lead and, most importantly, who can pass.
In two years the Kings will likely still need a point guard, and Rubio
probably will still be lagging behind Minnesota rookie Jonny Flynn, still
pressing the T-wolves for a trade.
Meanwhile, here in Sacramento … can the mayor spare a few dimes?
With Francisco García and the chronically injured Beno Udrih already ailing
– a knee this month, a torn toenail the next? – the Kings could open
training camp with a frightening collection of poor or uninterested passers.
Projected starters Kevin Martin, Jason Thompson, Andres Nocioni and Spencer
Hawes contributed more turnovers than assists a year ago, with Udrih's 4.7
assists for every 2.16 turnovers almost John Stockton-esque by comparison.
Into this scene steps Evans, who averaged 3.9 assists and 3.6 turnovers in
his short, sweet season at Memphis. Before injuring his finger in July in the
Las Vegas summer league, he was a physically bruising presence, defending and
rebounding, and relentlessly attacking the basket. He penetrated and found
teammates underneath, but seemed less comfortable facilitating an offense.
A natural scorer, his eyes were on the prize – the rim. Point guards by
comparison crawl out of the womb with a completely different vision. They see
the entire floor, anticipate plays before they develop.
"When Dennis Johnson came into the league with us (Seattle), he didn't handle
the ball as well as Tyreke," said former NBA coach Paul Silas, asked about
the frequent comparisons between Evans and his late former SuperSonics
teammate. "But I think DJ's decision-making was better. Can you learn that?
It's very tough once you're in the pros. The game moves so fast. I would
venture to say Tyreke's more of a two (shooting) guard and, man, I haven't
seen anybody get to the basket like he does."
But back to the point, to the suspicion that Evans is a lead guard only in an
emergency: The Kings should learn what Rubio eats, when he sleeps, what he
reads. They should chart his every pass, his every tendency, his every
desire. They should get to know the youngster so well that two years from
now, if they haven't already acquired someone to deliver the ball to Evans,
Martin and Hawes, they should invite Rubio for another visit, another look.
"I want to be a really good point guard here in the best league in the world
… ," Rubio told The Bee during the first of his two pre-draft visits last
June, "so I have to find the team who wants me, who really wants me."
Two years. Start counting.
如果兩年內Evans沒能長成下個Penny或PG版LBJ的稱號，我會認為這是派崔選秀又一失誤。
我承認我忘不了Rubio，如同三年前難以釋懷國王跳過Sergio。如果Sergio本季在國王發光
發熱，比Evans擔任PG時運作更順暢；那是否反而更加證明，當初選了Rubio球隊會更好？
