Rubio - most hyped player ever in europe?

[PacersGM]

I can´t believe this kid at the age of 15 is already playing meaningfull mins in the first division in spain at the senior level at the PG position. Possible the best league in europe.
But his performance in the U16 European championship game is just crazy.

if i can find a video i will post a link here. for the moment this arcticle describes his performance enough.

Never heard of him but my friend ws watchin U18 games and he said there was some kid who went for 54pts, 25rebs, 15sa and 12 blocks. Is that him?

[BlazersGM]

that was Oden maybe, there's no chance PG gets 25 rebs

[PacersGM]

  you are almost right but rubio can:

his stats in the semifinals: 19/10/13 and 11 steals in 33mins
in the finals he had: 51/24/12 and 7 steals 

at the end he was the leader per avg. in pts, rebs (as a PG!), ass and steals. Not for his team for the whole tournament.
Only Deng had some similar stats as a youngster for england but that was against minor competition and the english team was so bad they still lost most games. But rubio did that for the U16 champ at the age of 15 

[KingsGM-old]

Yeah, that's him.

[MavsGM]

He's 6'3 at the age of 15.  Could be the next Magic.

[BlazersGM]

Roko is better

[KingsGM-old]

Not impressed at all. They're cheatin on age all the time on such tournaments. He might as well be 17 or 18. Off course, then it's a diferent story.

what are you talking about?  What would you say if he were croatian?

[KingsGM-old]

Croatian? Dude i've played against Josip Sesar and Dalibor Bagaric back in my junior days. Sesar was named "Croatian Jordan" by many (and that includes some US experts, couple of years later i was supposed to be his first backup, i was 19 at that time), he was unstopable, the man among kids, he had something like 40ppg just to found out couple of years later that he was OLDER then the rest of us. 2 years older. So when we were 16, he was 18. And that's a huge, huge diference. These cheatin on age is happening all the time, specially in U16, U18 and U20 tournaments.

This guy definitely doesn't look like he's 15, i can tell you that by the definition of his arms and body structure. You can see that he's way above his peers psychicaly. The most of them are going to catch him up (most of the kids don't develop that earlie, i know that by myself. I was 5'7 at the age of 16 and 6'6 by the age of 18) and then we will see how good he really is. That's why i mentioned Bagaric (still can't belive that idiot played for the Bulls, but they let anyone in NBA these days as it seems). When we were playin against him he was something like 6'10 and our first C was a laughter at 6'4. Off course, he droped 45 and 20rebs on us. But once he got into senior competition, where there are many C's with his size and strenght, he was a mockery. And it's still a mockery today.

[BlazersGM]

I agree with Kings on that, and i say again my thing "Roko is the best"

[KingsGM-old]

At first i thought you were joking. But now i know you're complete fool. Roko's what!?

[MavsGM]

This guy definitely doesn't look like he's 15, i can tell you that by the definition of his arms and body structure.

You can say the samething about almost all players.  Look at Oden, he looked like someone's grandpa but he's 18 years old. 


Also take a look at this guy for example, he is 6'8 256 playing in little league world series at the age of 13.

[KingsGM-old]

Black players don't count. They mature much earlier. White, and euroes specially, on the other hand not.

[BlazersGM]

Roko is better then that spanish guy, he plays like black.
