The Knicks are about to officially enter the Ricky Rubio sweepstakes. Donnie Walsh revealed on Friday that he intends to call his former assistant, Minnesota GM David Kahn, about the availability of Rubio, the fifth overall pick from Thursday's NBA Draft. Rubio, the highly touted point guard from Spain, would prefer to play in New York. Rubio's father told Marca.com that his son may elect to stay with his club team in Spain for at least another two years.

From the Daily News. Interjecting my two cents: If the Wolves were willing to stand pat at 5 and let Rubio fall to them instead of moving up to 2 or 3, then they should be cool in the face of any pressure from the Rubio camp that a 18 year old point will spend a year or two back in Europe. Hold steady and it will all work out.
