Ricky Rubio – 2009 NBA Draft
5. Minnesota Timberwolves – Ricky Rubio 6-5 190 PG Spain Intl.
# Birthday: 10/21/90
# NBA Position: Point Guard
# Class: International
# Ht: 6-5
# Wt: 190
# Team: DKV Joventut
# Hometown: El Masnou, Spain
NBA Comparison: Jose Calderon/Steve Nash
Strengths: One of the purest point guards to come around in a while His vision and ability to deliver precise passes make him the ultimate distributor Has good size for the position, allowing him to survey the court over top of defenses A great and natural feel for the game allows him to see plays before they materialize, keeping him one step ahead of the opposition He is extremely good at maintaining his composure when operating in the pick and roll, he does not panic when the defense converges, but rather shows patience and waits to make his reads Loves to split the hedge on a high ball screen to get into the paint Has a wide repertoire of moves off the dribble Knows how to incorporate head, pass and shot fakes to get defenders off balance and to keep them guessing Uses change of speed and direction extremely well, always mixing up the moves and staying unpredictable His shot has come a long way in the last year or so, even to the point where he has become a serious threat from the outside Defesively, he plays with a lot of energy and puts in a great effort to put pressure on the opposing ball handlers Quick hands and terrific anticipation allow him to get his hands on a lot of balls His game is mature beyond his years due to the fact that he has played on the top senior level for a long time He has been on the draft radar for some years and has been able to maintain a fairly high level of play Has shown that he can perform on a big stage by being a key member of the Spanish National team in the Olympics
Weaknesses: Has good speed but lacks the great explosiveness that top tier point guards in the league possses He is forced to shoot high amount of attempts in the paint because his marginal leaping ability makes it difficult for him to finish around the basket Heavily depends on the pick and roll to create his opportunities and does not show a great ability to break down defenders in ISO situations Has gotten better at taking whats open, but his pass first mentality still gets him into trouble as he passes up open shots His jumper is still not a finished product by any means Because it takes him a bit to get his feet set, and his release point is fairly low he still looks like a set shooter Has battled some injuries over the last year, which raises the question of durability and whether he will be able to handle the rigors of an 82 game season His game has been up and down this season after coming back from his injury (Had a better overall season last year) His performance on the international scene does not guarantee his game will translate well to the NBA Is also a bit of a risk because of his high buyout and because he has hinted at staying overseas if he doesnt go to the right team

Mike Taylor scores career high 35 points against Knicks 03/25/09
The Los Angeles Clippers sweep the New York Knicks with their second overtime victory Knicks this season. The Clipper win comes largely in part to Taylor’s 35 point effort as well as Al Harrington’s (Knick) technical for hanging on the rim in the final minute of the 4th quarter, which allowed the Clippers to push the game to overtime. Harrington was called for an eerily similar technical during crunch time between the two team’s earlier this year. Thank you Al!

Christian Eyenga – 2009 NBA Draft
30. Cleveland Cavaliers – Christian Eyenga 6-6 210 SG/SF Congo Intl.
* Birthday: 6/22/89
* NBA Position: SG/SF
* Class: International
* Ht: 6-6
* Wt: 210
* Team: DKV Joventut
Strengths: He has played in DKV Joventut for their second team (PRAT – LEB League) most of the year, also had a couple of games in Euroleague and ACB (few minutes) … Athletic and long player with great all-around physical ability … Plays SF most of the time in PRAT -LEB League … Eyenga has improved his overall game tremendously (offensively and defensively) in the past year … His basketball IQ and understanding of the game has risen … Now he is a better decision maker with the ball on the floor and attacks the basket much more (used to be raw) … Has great elevation when going for rebounds or alley-oop situations (he can really get up there) … Eyenga has developed solid shooting mechanics with a nice follow-through and good elevation on his jump-shot; last year he looked like he couldnt shoot the ball at all and now is looking very good at times (PRATA-LEB League). Possesses solid outside range out to 3pt (34% from 3PT). If he hits first few shots from the perimeter in a row he gets very confident and he is very difficult to guard … Eyenga has good balance in his offensive game and almost the same number of outside shots as well as free-throws … Solid free-throw shooter at 72 % from the free-throw line … Good rebounder at both ends of the floor due to his length and athleticism … Can block shots well due to his length and timing … Has all attributes to develop into a very good all-around player in the near future.
Weaknesses: Played most of the time at the PF in past few years and juniors, so still getting familiar with the wing … Lacks experience and fundamentals for NBA … Eyenga is still a raw player offensively and still has trouble beating defenders off the dribble … He is too predictable at times and drives to his right most of the time … He still has lots of room to improve in these areas … Relies too much on his jumping ability when going up for rebounds, needs to work on his positioning and fundamentals … Defensively he has to improve (right now he relies on his athleticism) … Eyenga still needs to work on his jump-shot; must become a more consistent outside shooter and better 3pt shooter as well in order to be offensive threat at the next level …
