Ricky Rubio Excites Sports Bloggers

The NBA lockout isn't officially over, but fans have been waiting too long to damper the excitement about the future (cross your fingers) return to the court.

Ricky Rubio was recently named one the "Players We're Most Excited To See When Season Starts" according to BleacherReport.com. The report makes a good point that, while NBA scouts have been drooling over the young Rubio since he was sixteen, few in the United States have seen the talented guard live.

The Wolves drafted Rubio in 2009 with the fifth overall pick. Negotiations regarding a buyout of his Euro League contract fell through, leading to a delay in his U.S. play.

With the lockout almost officially over, the wait seems to be nearly over.
