The most important thing that happened at the NBA Draft on Thursday night had nothing to do with Blake Griffin, Hasheem Thabeet or even Ricky Rubio.

The most significant development was the following quote, uttered by Rubio's father, Esteban: "Con esta elección, es posible que Ricky juegue un año o dos más en Europa."

Translation: Minneapolis, we have a problem.

Even someone like me, who can only say beer and bathroom en Español, understands that that means. Spain never looked so good to Rubio after he was selected with the fifth pick Thursday night by the Minnesota Timberwolves.
