Um Rubio is NBA ready. HE has more experience and he's played against chris paul and deron williams. He might not have the body yet, but curry doesnt either. curry is a bettr shooter and faster, but rubio has the advantage because he is a true point guard. if curry was taller and stronger it would be a different story

You must be kidding! Curry weighs the same as Rubio, and he's SMALLER! You think Rubio's NBA ready!? Why, cause he played TWO games against some NBA points? More experience!?! You do know Curry was a Junior and that his team went to the NCAA tourny twice in the three years he's been there ya? Or that he (Curry) averaged 28(ppg) 5(ast) 4(reb) and 2(steals) a game this year, improving, once again on his previous years numbers? Comon people, i'm not even a Curry fan!!! ANY NCAA "star" player is more NBA ready than Rubio!

Alright kids, Are any of you even Sac fans??? If the EURO league is so great then why don't we see more players coming to the NBA from it??? I lived in the UK for two and a half years and i'll say first hand, YOUR CRAZY! If the euro league was so good, the draft would be filled with potential candidates from it! I understand loyalty but if you think the EURO league is anywhere near the level of talent the NBA is, your just lying to yourself. Theres a reason the NBA is watched worldwide. Theres a reason YOUR players want to come to it. And that reason is simple, it's better! All around, in every way. Who won the olympic gold? Who's players are recognized WORLD WIDE? Oh ya, and where is it 80% (at least) of those players come from……hmmmmm, oh thats right, the NCAA! Lets not take that (outrageous) risk! We need to get someone with NBA like experience, were not going to find that in an eighteen year old, EURO league body, little kid.

just so u kno i never said steph curry wasnt nba ready. im sayin rubio is in a better position to be drafted higher cus he's a true point guard. he has experience in a league thats more competitve than the NCAA. playin against other college players is experience but its nothin compared to playin against the best nba players even if its just two games. if he could hold his own against chris paul i think he would have a pretty good chance against others,

As far as Ike goes, he has contributed allot when he gets more minutes. Ike shows how important playing post is in the NBA. I am not sure if he will be traded or remain with the Kings. I guess that is up to the Maloofs and Petrie. Not sure about that outcome. We have to wait and find out how things turn out.
