Spain or America?

And the 5th pick in the 2009 NBA Draft is...still uncertain whether he is going to play in America this year. Right after the draft, Ricky Rubio's father said that he would go back to Spain. Then it seemed like he would stay in America. Now, well, now we just don't know. I can definitely understand his situation, as the T'Wolves drafted back-to-back point guards with the 5th and 6th picks in this year's NBA draft. But to hold off almost two months after the draft is pretty outrageous. In the end, I think he will be playing in a Timberwolves jersey. He has been playing professional ball in Spain since he was 14, and it's time he moves to where we know he wants to play. He came to the draft to play here, not to go back to Spain for the drama.
