http://www.twincities.com/sports/ci_17506512?source=rss If Ricky Rubio decides to play for the Timberwolves next season, he might not need an extensive tutoring session to learn about his potential new teammates. Wolves assistant general manager/player personnel Tony Ronzone visited with the flashy point guard, the team's first-round pick in the 2009 NBA draft, during the Spanish Cuptournament in Barcelona last month and said the Spanish phenom told him that he's been keeping up with the Wolves. "He said he knows about our team and he likes our young talent," Ronzone said of Rubio, who is in his second season with Regal FC Barcelona, the defending Euroleague champion and one of the top teams in the Spanish Pro League. "He said he likes (Kevin) Love, (Michael) Beasley and Wes Johnson. He's very in tune with a lot of the NBA players." Ronzone, who heads up the Wolves' international and college scouting, traveled to Barcelona to watch Rubio and Regal FC Barcelona compete in the weeklong Spanish Cup, which involved the top eight pro teams in Spain. Regal FC won the tournament. Ronzone said he and Wolves president of basketball operations David Kahn plan to return to Barcelona in May to watch the 21-year-old Rubio and Regal FC in the Euroleague playoffs. "We're going over there to support him, not to bother him," Ronzone said. "We don't talk with him that much. It's very important that he sees us, and it's important that the people of Minnesota know we're over there to see him." Rubio has yet to say whether he will join the Wolves next season — provided there is no lockout in the NBA over failure to reach a new collective bargaining agreement. He is eligible to exercise a $1 million buyout in his six-year contract with Regal FC after this season, which would free the gifted playmaker to sign with the Wolves and start his NBA career. In 15 Euroleague games this season, Rubio is averaging 6.4 points, 3.9 assists and 1.9 turnovers in 22.3 minutes. He finished the Spanish Pro League season with similar numbers: 5.4 points, 4.9 assists and 1.8 turnovers in 23.3 minutes. "We're really excited about his development," Ronzone said. "He continues to lead his team to wins and championships. He's a very unselfish player, and knows how to make the right pass." 如果Rubio决定要来到NBA，他也许不需要特别助教去指导与新队友的配合，尤其这些新队 友身上藏着无限的潜力。 灰狼队的助理总教练兼人事管理Tony Ronzone，再上个月西班牙冠军盃时，访问这了个 技巧高超的後卫，而这位後卫明确跟他表示，他一直都有在注意灰狼队的比赛。 这是Rubio在Regal FC的第二个球季，正为守护冠军杯而努力，Rubio告诉他他 了解灰狼队球队组织而且非常喜爱球队到处充满潜力，他很喜欢Love、B-Easy、Wes， 他已调整至能与这麽多NBA球员一起比赛的tempo了。 Ronzone是灰狼队国际与大学球探，他出发至到西班牙去观看Rubio参予的西班牙冠军 盃赛，尽管有8只职业篮球队一起竞争，但Regal FC还是获得胜利。 Ronzone与Kahn预计要在5月时去观看Regal FC的21岁Rubio欧洲联赛季後赛的表现 我是要过去支持他，并非要让他困扰，我并没与他谈太多细节，主要是了解Rubio怎麽 看待灰狼队，而且让他知道我们很看重他。 不过Rubio至今尚未有明确答覆。 他可能加入灰狼队，假如没有因为劳资协议导致长期闭馆。 他有资格在这季用$1 million买断合约，他这个球场掌控者将可与灰狼队签下合约开展 NBA生涯。 Rubio在欧洲联盟的15场比赛里平均6.4分3.9助攻1.9失误在平均22.3分钟里， 他在西班牙职业联盟也是带着类似平均5.4分4.9助攻1.8失误在平均23.3分钟里。 Ronzone表示：「看到他的发展，我感到很满意，他带领球队一起获胜并获得冠军， 他是一个无私的球员，知道如何传球与走位。」 --
