Kyrie IrvingDon't see how it's close. Kyrie is 100 times better than the other 2.
-
Kyrie IrvingRubio shouldn't even be mentioned with these two until he develops a jumpshot. Gotta go with Kyrie(obviously) but Lillard is gonna be a problem
-

Damian LillardIf you think there is that much of a difference between these 3 then you are either brain dead or don't know ? about basketball. Kyrie is a good player but he does have weaknesses
-

Ricky RubioI'd say Rubio cause he's the one less likely to try to "team up" with 2 other all-stars 3 years after I draft'em. Go to some "high profile" city or franchise somewhere. Them foreign cats just wanna ball. They give no ? about publicity.

Report: Ricky Rubio's father says son may remain in Spain
By J.E. Skeets
Leading up to the NBA Draft there was chatter of Ricky Rubio's preference to play in a big market. Well, Minnesota certainly isn't one, and according to the Spanish sports site Marca.com, the father of the new Timberwolves point guard says his son may remain in Spain for a few more years rather than play in the NBA. Talk about cold feet.
Ricky's pop, Esteve Rubio: "Ahora mismo, es muy probable que Ricky se quede uno o dos años en Europa." Translated, it says, "Right now, it is possible that Ricky plays a year or two more in Europe."
"Tenemos que hablar con la gente de Minnesota ... y ver lo que pasa, porque, a estas horas, podemos estar en Minnesota o en otra parte", declaraba." Loosely translated: "We are going to speak with the [people, staff] of Minnesota and see what's happening, because, in some hours, we may be in Minnesota or in another place."
Earlier in the evening, Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo! Sports reported that the Knicks were working hard to cut a deal with the Timberwolves to acquire Rubio. New York's a big enough market, si? The flashy teen was one of three point guards taken by Minnesota in the opening round of the Draft, with new Wolves general manager David Kahn snapping up Ricky at No. 5, Jonny Flynn of Syracuse at No. 6 and North Carolina's Ty Lawson at No. 18, though he was subsequently traded to Denver.
Decisions, decisions ...

Damian Lillarda lot of y'all are sleeping on Rubio. I don't think it was any coincidence that K Love was playing the best basketball of his career when RR was on the floor with him. Not mention he was amount the league leaders in steals and assists. The only Kyrie has over Dame is experience. He had all of last year and the summer playing with the US squad so he's ahead of the curve. I think 3 years from now Lillard will be the better pro

Them damn Foreigners always want the spotlight. smh -
cant choose right now between Lillard and Irving
I like what Lillard doing on the court more right now but hes playing with better players -
Ricky RubioIf I'm building a team, I favor a 'pass 1st' point. No knock on Lillard & Kyrie tho
-
Ricky RubioIrving better get his assist game up.
-
Ricky RubioRubio...and this is how i'd surround him:
Valanciunas/Chris Anderson
Kevin Love/Andrea Bargnani
Danilo Galinarri/Adam Morrison
Manu GinobiliMarco Belinelli/
Ricky Rubio/Jose Calderon
Coach: Jay Triano -
Damian LillardDamian Lillard easily, he's got the most upside of the 3 and someone please tell me what makes Kyrie SO much better than Lillard?
? must not be watching Portland play, he's got a bonafide allstar on his team in Lamarcus Aldridge yet when the games get close Lillard takes over. I just watched him lead his team back for a dub 2 nights ago after struggling in the 1st half. That dude has all the tools and he's clutch. Kyrie is better right now but the question was
about starting a franchise, not just for right now this second. -
Ricky RubioRicky Rubio had Minny on the brink of the playoffs his 1st until he got hurt....Lillard is a baller and Kyrie will be a bonafide superstar.....But Ricky Rubio will make everybody better then the other two clutch player hits his shots when needed Rubio can dominate the game without even scoring....

Ricky Rubio
Rubio Is the best pure pg out the 3 -
Kyrie IrvingYall talkin like Kyrie is a seasoned veteran or some ? he still has room to grow and hopefully does but at this moment he is better than both with room to improve..
He doesnt fear the big moment so im takin him.. -
Ricky RubioRubio,the other two are scoring PG's which are a dime a dozen in this league
-
Ricky Rubio^^^^Minnesota biased post
-
Kyrie IrvingKyrie assist numbers would be much higher if he had a bonafide scorer on his team and also had more pure shooters around him
Rubio has K-Love and also plays with better shooters, and Lillard has 3 other guys in the starting lineup that average 15+ppg ....Batum averages 15 , Matthews averages 15 , and Aldridge averages 21.
as good as Anderson Varejao has been playing this year he should never be your 2nd best scorer on the team , that speaks volumes of what is around Kyrie...that team is 7-24 for a reason , lets not act like he's playing on team who's roster is full of underAchieving players.
