The latest Rubio report on DX talks about his chances of entering the draft:

Draft Express wrote:According to David Carro, the Spanish partner of Rubio's NBA agent, Dan Fegan, who we spoke with here at the Copa del Rey, there is “still a chance that Rubio could find his way into this year's draft.” Negotiations are reportedly underway to lower his buyout to more manageable proportions, possibly 3-4 million Euro. A solution could come as early as “this month” Carro told us, and in that case, Rubio would be able to afford getting out of his contract if he were to be “a top-3 pick” (which he very likely is), as long as he could pay off the buyout over the course of his rookie deal. Asked why Joventut would have any reason to even negotiate considering the leverage they hold in this situation, Carro responded that Rubio is the “image of the team” and that they “would not want to have a mad player.”

Obviously the door has yet to be completely closed on Ricky Rubio and this year's NBA draft, so we'll have to stay tuned.

Turner's range will need to improve, but remember, he's playing PF/Swiss Army knife for Ohio State right now, and with the pressure on him to beat his man off the dribble and create for the rest of the team, he's not often in a position to take treys. He's a nice, mid-round prospect, since 6'7" guys that can shoulder ballhandling duty like him don't grow on trees.

I like Calathes, and we're one of the teams that could really make him work. He's not the top notch athlete I'd like to add to our perimeter, but he and Foye could go well together.

Jerel McNeal will be appearing on ESPN @ 6:00 CST when the Marquette Should-Still-Be-Warriors take on UCONN. If anybody tunes in, try to ignore how awkward and flat his shot looks in catch and shoot situation and focus on the fact that it's gone in at a 43.4% clip from beyond the arc this year. He's going to be a nice late value for whichever team decides size isn't a pressing issue.

there's nothing wrong with wanting to have Rubio on the team, or wanting him to autograph your shoes or your hotel key, or wanting to fan him with a giant palm leaf while feeding him grapes
