Ricard Rubio i Vives (born October 21, 1990) is a Spanish professional basketball player for the Utah Jazz of the National Basketball Association (NBA). Rubio became the youngest player ever to play in the Spanish ACB League on October 15, 2005, at age 14.[1][2] He made his EuroLeague debut on October 24, 2006, at age 16, becoming the first player born in the 1990s to play in a EuroLeague game.[3] He is the fifth-youngest player to make their debut in the EuroLeague, since the year 2000. On June 25, 2009, he was drafted with the fifth pick in the first round of the 2009 NBA draft by the Timberwolves,[4] making him the first player born in the 1990s to be drafted by the NBA. The Timberwolves had an agreement in principle with his former Spanish team, DKV Joventut, to buy out his contract, but Rubio backed out of the deal.[5] On August 31, 2009, Joventut traded the rights to Rubio to FC Barcelona,[6] and Rubio signed a six-year contract with FC Barcelona the following day.[7] In 2011, Rubio joined the Minnesota Timberwolves,[8] and spent six seasons in Minnesota before being traded to the Jazz in June 2017.

Player profile

Rubio playing in Spain

Rubio was regarded by some as the best European guard prospect ever.[9] Rubio has been compared by some to Pete Maravich.[10]

2009 NBA draft

On June 24, 2009, the Minnesota Timberwolves acquired the 5th pick in the 2009 NBA draft, Etan Thomas, Darius Songaila and Oleksiy Pecherov from the Washington Wizards, in exchange for Randy Foye and Mike Miller.[11] With the 5th pick, Minnesota selected Rubio, making him the first player born in the 1990s to be drafted.[12] The Timberwolves had a total of four first round picks in the 2009 NBA draft. They used the 6th and 18th picks in the first round and chose two other point guards, Jonny Flynn from Syracuse and Ty Lawson from North Carolina, surprising many in the NBA.[13][14] Lawson's draft rights were soon traded to the Denver Nuggets.[14] The Timberwolves then used the 28th pick to select Wayne Ellington, a shooting guard from North Carolina.

The following day, Rubio's father told a Spanish media outlet his son might return to Spain for at least one more season.[13] Rubio did not attend an introductory press conference by the Timberwolves.[15] Rubio had a buyout clause in his Joventut contract reported by various media outlets as ranging from $6.6 million to $8.2 million, and Timberwolves general manager David Kahn admitted Rubio would probably have to play one more season in Spain to reduce or avoid the buyout.[15]

After the draft

On July 22, the Associated Press reported Rubio was seeking to leave Joventut, regardless of whether he was able to come to the NBA. The report indicated ACB powers FC Barcelona and Real Madrid were both interested in signing Rubio if he could not immediately come to the NBA. The main stumbling block to Rubio's NBA move was a clause in the league's collective bargaining agreement that prohibited a team from paying more than $500,000 toward a player's contract buyout. Barça and Real, as ACB clubs, were not subject to this rule and could pay far more toward a buyout.[16] In another development, the St. Paul Pioneer Press reported on August 4 Rubio's representatives had been actively seeking endorsement deals in Minnesota to help finance his buyout (the NBA buyout rules are binding on teams, but not on third parties).[17]

However, on August 31, 2009, ESPN reported Rubio would not come to the NBA until 2011 at the earliest.[6] Joventut expressed a willingness to reduce the buyout, and the Timberwolves apparently had a deal to bring him to the NBA, but in the end Rubio did not feel ready to come across the Atlantic. Rubio issued the following statement:[5]

The reason leading me to take this next step is to have a period of preparation to better take the challenge of the NBA in better conditions as a player. The Minnesota Timberwolves continue to be my first option and I wish to play with them in the near future.

Kahn believed Rubio and his family were being pressured by the Spanish media, his national teammates, and people in his hometown to stay in Spain, adding, "It's just been a tough summer. From an 18-year-old's perspective and his family's perspective, it was very nerve-racking".[5]

ESPN reported his original buyout with Joventut was €5.7 million ($8.1 million) in both 2009 and 2010.[6] Barça bought out Rubio's contract for €3.5 million ($5.0 million), and announced on September 1 he had signed a six-year deal with the club. The contract gave him the option to go to the NBA after the 2010–11 season,[18] with ESPN reporting the buyout at that time would be a more manageable $1.4 million (of which the Timberwolves could pay $500,000).[5]

Professional career

Spain

Signed Ricky Rubio jersey (2009)

Rubio debuted in the Spanish ACB League in the 2005–06 season with DKV Joventut. Rubio was the youngest player ever to debut in the ACB, at 14 years and 11 months.[19] He won the FIBA EuroChallenge championship with Joventut that year. He led the Spanish ACB League in steals during the 2006–07 season. He also won the Spanish ACB League's Rising Star Award that season. Rubio was also named the FIBA Europe Young Player of the Year in 2007, 2008, and 2009.[20] He made his EuroLeague debut on October 24, 2006, versus Panathinaikos of Athens as Joventut's backup point guard for Elmer Bennett. He became the fifth-youngest EuroLeague player at the time. Rubio averaged 2.8 assists per game in his first season of EuroLeague play. He won the EuroCup championship with Joventut in 2008. He was also voted the Spanish ACB League's best point guard in 2008 and 2010. He won the 2009–10 EuroLeague with FC Barcelona.

Despite his notability, he was carefully shielded. DKV Joventut and Rubio's parents agreed not to make him available for interviews until his 18th birthday on 21 October 2008.[21] However, the restrictions were ended a few months early once he was selected for the Spanish national team that would play at the 2008 Olympics.[22]

Rubio won the 2008 Mr. Europa Award, which was given out yearly by the Italian Superbasket Magazine. In 2009, his club Badalona raised the amount of money his contract paid per year from 80,000 euros net income to 300,000 euros net income.[23] He was named the Defensive Player of the Year for the Spanish ACB League 2008–09 season, and he also led the league in steals that season. Rubio declared himself eligible for the 2009 NBA draft on April 20, 2009.[24][25] Rubio's agent during that time was Dan Fegan.[26] After the 2009 NBA draft, Rubio played for the Regal FC Barcelona for the next two seasons as agreed upon with the Minnesota Timberwolves. During that time, he helped the team win the EuroLeague Championship in 2010 and the Liga ACB Championship in 2011.

Minnesota Timberwolves (2011–2017)

Rubio in 2012

On June 1, 2011, sources reported Rubio had "reached an agreement with Minnesota to join the Timberwolves" for the 2011–12 NBA season.[8] Rubio arrived off a plane in Minnesota to a barrage of fans waiting to welcome him to America.[27][28] On June 17, 2011, Rubio held a press conference announcing he had signed with Minnesota.[29]

Becoming the 10th Spanish NBA player,[30] Rubio made his regular season debut on December 26, 2011, to a sellout crowd at the Target Center, the team's first sellout crowd since the 2007–08 season. Rubio recorded 6 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists in 26 minutes a 4-point loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder.[31] He was named Western Conference Rookie of the Month after the first month of the season.[32] In February, Rubio and teammate Derrick Williams were selected to participate in the 2012 Rising Stars challenge. However, Rubio was drafted to Team Shaq, while Williams was drafted to Team Chuck. Rubio scored 22 points on February 19, 2012 in a win over the Philadelphia 76ers.[33] In a loss to the Los Angeles Lakers on March 9, 2012, Rubio tore his ACL and his lateral collateral ligament defending Kobe Bryant. He missed the rest of the season.[34][35] Rubio finished second in Rookie of the Year voting, trailing only Cleveland Cavaliers rookie Kyrie Irving.[36] Rubio had averaged 10.6 points, 8.2 assists and 2.2 steals in 41 games.

Rubio returned from his injury on December 15, 2012, in an overtime victory over the Dallas Mavericks, playing for 19 minutes and totaling 9 assists and 8 points.[37] He then recorded his first career triple-double with 21 points, 13 rebounds and 12 assists in a win over the San Antonio Spurs on March 12, 2013. Rubio almost recorded his second career triple-double in a loss to the Memphis Grizzlies on March 30 with 23 points, 10 rebounds and 9 assists.[38] Then on April 13, he recorded a career-high 24 points, 10 assists, 5 rebounds and 5 steals in a win over the Phoenix Suns.[39] Rubio finished the 2012–13 season with averages of 10.7 points, 7.3 assists and 2.4 steals per game. He also finished second in steals per game, behind Chris Paul.[40]

On November 11, 2013, Rubio recorded his second career triple-double with 12 points, 14 assists and 10 rebounds in a 113–90 win over the Los Angeles Lakers.[41]

On February 19, 2014, Rubio recorded a career-high 17 assists, along with 6 points, 7 rebounds and 2 steals, in a 104–91 win over the Indiana Pacers. Rubio also tied the Timberwolves' franchise record with his 17 assists.[42] On March 19, 2014, Rubio recorded his third career triple-double with 22 points, 15 assists and 10 rebounds in a 123–122 overtime win over the Dallas Mavericks.[43] On March 28, 2014, Rubio tied Tyrone Corbin for the Wolves season-record in steals at 175 with his one steal in a 143–107 win over the Los Angeles Lakers.[44] Two days later, he passed that record when he recorded 2 steals against the Brooklyn Nets.[45]

On October 31, 2014, Rubio signed a four-year, $56 million contract extension with the Timberwolves.[46][47] On November 8, 2014, he was ruled out indefinitely after he severely sprained his left ankle in the November 7 game loss to the Orlando Magic.[48] Rubio returned to action on February 2, 2015 against the Dallas Mavericks, recording 10 points and 4 assists in a 100–94 loss.[49] On March 2, 2015, he recorded his fourth career triple-double with 18 points, 11 assists and 12 rebounds in a loss to the Los Angeles Clippers.[50] He later underwent surgery on his ankle in April 2015.[51]

On October 28, 2015, Rubio scored a career-high 28 points in a season opening win over the Los Angeles Lakers.[52] He later missed four games with a sore left knee, returning to action on November 17.[53] On December 16, he recorded a near quadruple-double with 12 assists, 10 rebounds, 9 points and 8 steals in a loss to the New York Knicks.[54] On December 30, he tied a career high with 17 assists in a 94–80 win over the Utah Jazz. Having recorded 14 assists two nights prior in a loss to the San Antonio Spurs, Rubio became the first Wolves player with at least 14 assists in consecutive games since Terrell Brandon did so in April 1999.[55] On March 11, 2016, Rubio's three-pointer with 0.2 seconds remaining lifted the Timberwolves to a 99–96 win over the Oklahoma City Thunder. He finished with 13 points and 12 assists for his eighth double-double of the season, as the Timberwolves snapped a 10-game losing streak against the Thunder.[56] On March 14 against the Phoenix Suns, for the fourth time in his career, Rubio had a 17-assist effort.[57]

On January 11, 2017, in a win over the Houston Rockets, Rubio had a 17-assist effort for the fifth time in his career. Rubio also passed Sam Mitchell to move into fourth place on the team's career games played list with 292.[58] On January 30, 2017, he made a career-high six three-pointers to lead the Timberwolves to a 111–105 overtime victory over the Orlando Magic. He finished with 22 points, eight rebounds and eight assists.[59] On March 4, 2017, he recorded his fifth career triple-double with 11 points, 13 rebounds and 10 assists in a 97–90 overtime loss to the San Antonio Spurs.[60] On March 13, 2017, Rubio scored 22 points and broke his own franchise record with 19 assists in a 119–104 win over the Washington Wizards.[61] Two days later, he had a season-high 23 points in a 117–104 loss to the Boston Celtics.[62] On March 30, 2017, Rubio had a career-high 33 points, 10 assists and five rebounds in a 119–104 win over the Lakers.[63]

Utah Jazz (2017–present)

On June 30, 2017, Rubio was traded to the Utah Jazz in exchange for a 2018 first-round draft pick.[64][65] On November 1, 2017, Rubio scored a season-high 30 points in a 112–103 overtime win over the Portland Trail Blazers.[66] On February 3, 2018, he set a new season high with 34 points in a 120–111 win over the San Antonio Spurs.[67] On March 11, 2018, he had 30 points, 10 rebounds and seven assists in a 116–99 win over the New Orleans Pelicans.[68] In Game 3 of the Jazz's first-round playoff series against the Oklahoma City Thunder, Rubio had 26 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists, as the Jazz took a 2–1 lead in the series with a 115–102 win. Rubio's triple-double was the first by a Jazz player in the postseason since John Stockton in the 2001 playoffs against Dallas.[69] In Game 6, Rubio suffered a left hamstring injury that rendered him out for the remainder of the playoffs.[70]

Spanish national team

Under-16 national team

In August 2006, Rubio led the rising junior Spanish national team to the FIBA Europe Under-16 Championship. During the tournament Rubio achieved two triple-doubles and a quadruple-double. In the 110–106 double overtime finale victory over Russia, Rubio scored 51 points, the first player to do so in FIBA junior tournaments since Luol Deng (in 2001), grabbed 24 rebounds, made 12 assists, and stole the ball 7 times. He also forced the first overtime with a three-point, buzzer-beating shot from mid-court. Rubio was then named the Most Valuable Player of the tournament after leading it in points, rebounds, assists and steals.

Senior national team

The young Spaniard was selected to take part in the Spanish National Team which participated at the 2008 Summer Olympic Games in Beijing, China. The team was composed of current and former NBA players such as Pau Gasol, José Calderón, Rudy Fernández, Marc Gasol, Raúl López, Jorge Garbajosa, and Juan Carlos Navarro, among others.

He played in the 2008 Olympics Basketball Tournament's gold medal game against the USA's "Redeem Team", and thus at 17 became the youngest basketball player to ever play in an Olympic basketball final. Rubio shared the Spanish national team's silver medal after his team suffered a 118–107 loss. The next year, he was chosen to play for Spain at the EuroBasket 2009 in Poland, where Spain won the gold medal by defeating Serbia 85–63. During the tournament, Rubio averaged 22.7 minutes, 5.9 points, 2.2 rebounds, 3.9 assists, and 1.4 steals per game.
