Barone: Rubio 'Has Ability To Lead A Team'

Grizzlies director of player personnel Tony Barone Sr. traveled to Spain to watch Ricky Rubio play for DKV Joventut.

Barone came away very impressed, especially after Rubio completely altered a game in which Joventut was losing.

After injuring his groin in a quarterfinal game, Rubio didn't enter Game 2 until long after Joventut had started struggling.

He excelled, posting 16 points, 7 rebounds, 6 assists and 4 steals en route to a 82-77 win.

The kid," Barone said, "has the ability to lead a team."

Grizzles general manager Chris Wallace and coach Lionel Hollins spent Saturday in Spain to scout Rubio again, despite internet reports that the point guard's camp doesn't want him in Memphis.
