There's some other interesting work in terms of historical correlation of NCAA statistics to NBA statistics -- thought I posted this before, but maybe not:

The Fab Five turned me off NCAA ball for the most part, though. The style over substance thing just didn't do it for me the way it did for so many others, and the revelations afterwards... ugh.

For the rest, there was good news out of Spain on Tuesday, when 18-year-old point guard phenom Ricky Rubio announced he's declaring for the 2009 draft. Although Rubio's contract buyout with his Spanish team, DKV Joventut, will be complicated, it couldn't be more painful than meandering through several more non-playoff seasons without a dynamic point guard. And it doesn't end with Rubio. While many NBA teams are in cost-cutting mode, one place they're sparing no expense is European scouting. Among the point guards drawing the most attention overseas are Brandon Jennings and Spaniard Carlos Cabezas.
At least one NBA executive who is expected to have a top 10 pick is extremely high on Syracuse's Jonny Flynn. Others are so high on Rubio that it wouldn't shock them if he went No. 1 overall; that's right, ahead of Oklahoma's Blake Griffin. As we've seen in the playoffs, power forwards are a dime a dozen in today's NBA. The real value is in the point guard who delivers 10 dimes a night and the most valuable of NBA commodities: playoff wins.
Rubio is a fucking legend before he's even played a single game.
Darko part two? I don't know anything about him BTW.
He looks like Nash from the highlights I saw, but puts a little more effort into defense.
Nash and Maravich are the two comparison that everyone makes.
Rubio =/= Pistol Pete. Besides they are white and have a mad dribble. Nash is a much better comparison if we must choose a white guy cause that's what we do.
Curry in for sure now...I think
Lawson & Ellington have a presser at 2:30
No fuckin' way does he compare to the Pistol... obviously these cats are too young to recall what Maravich could do... I'm pretty certain we'll never see those type of skilz again in our lifetime... truly worth a peek.
