Adelman not Ready to Start Rubio

Ricky Rubio of the Minnesota Timberwolves has played well throughout the first four games of the 2012 NBA season, but coach Rick Adelman still has no plans to start Rubio.

Adelman says he is still evaluating the team and Rubio will have his minutes, but that these things happen over time. As of right now, the Timberwolves are just trying to acquire a winning record.

As of right now, Luke Ridnour is the starting point guard and will continue to maintain that position until Adelman decides to make a change.

Rubio is averaging 9.5 ppg, 7.3 apg and 4.3 rpg in his rookie season in the NBA. With more positive play, it may be inevitable that Rubio will become the starting point guard for the Timberwolves—only time will tell.
