Don't tell your one of those..."I hate Rubio guys". I know it can't be Brewer, because he's a real nice guy that is a very team orinted player. Kobe tends to disagree with you in regards to Rubio. He thinks Rubio is an incrdible talent, and I agree. The guy was 18 years old, and I loved the way he leads. He's got a air of confidence about him that is extremly rare. Rubio is VERY mature for his age, and his defense is stellar. He also wants to get others involved, and enjoys seeing others around him succed as a result of his passing and playmaking. The guy is a flat out winner. You can have Brandon Jennings, I still want the kid right now if you gave me that choice.
Brewer is a very good defender whose game would rise considerably playing in our system.
Also understand that Rubio can't come here til 2011, unless someone ponies up the 9M to have him get let out before then. He still would only be 20 years old, and would have 7 years of professional expereince under his belt as a rookie. We have to try and see if Kurt can help us out.
