Every offseason in the NBA you will always about five names of future NBA stars, most of the time maybe one or two them become legit NBA superstars, but most of them don't really make the impact.

One of the names floating around this offseason that was said to be the next big thing in the NBA from overseas was Spain's flashy point guard Ricky Rubio.

Personally, after seeing his highlights I think he is Pistol Pete reborn with his passing ability, but lacks the scoring ability of Pistol. From what I am hearing though, NBA scouts have compared him to Steve Nash.

The problem with Rubio's situation now is that he has teams from overseas gunning for him and his Spanish squad still having him under contract with a buyout clause. Now the Minnesota Timberwolves have selected him in the NBA Draft, but his future with the club is still very much in doubt as he could possibly end up playing in Europe until he is 22.
