It's no secret that I have quite the fancrush on Ricky Rubio. 

And despite his agent, Dan Fegan's comments in the past 48 hours, I think that he'll end up in Oklahoma City. I think he'll be a part of a Jeff Green-Kevin Durant-Russell Westbrook-Ricky Rubio quartet that will not only take over barbershops but will also take over the game of basketball. In fact, I'm completely jealous of Royce over at Daily Thunder. He's got a great decade of hometown hoops in front of him. And I've got the Wrath of Kahn.

I was reading the incomparable Sam Amick's blog for the Sacramento Bee and came across this Ricky Rubio highlight package that is really good quality and well put together. It starts out a little slow but about 1:40 into it until the end, it really picks up and shows some really great passes from this kid.

Remember, he's 18 years old right now and was probably 16, 17, and 18 during these highlights. The fact that he's a professional this young, plays this well against great competition and is such a marketable player is just enchanting (Ya, I used enchanting. Can you think of a better word for him?) for GMs around the NBA.
