Ricky Rubio has some leverage in influencing which team selects him due to a necessary buyout from his team in Spain.  His American agent Dan Fegan tried to shape where Yi Jianlian was selected in 2007, but was unsuccessful due to Milwaukee taking a hard line and no real alternative in his foreign contract.

?Rubio doesn?t want to go to Memphis, and he especially does not want to pay money out of his own pocket with that huge buyout for the honor of doing so," said a source that spoke to DraftExpress.com.  "Fegan wants him in L.A., and if he can?t have him there, he wants him in Sacramento. Definitely not Oklahoma City.

?He?ll pull out if he doesn?t like what he?s hearing,? continued the source. ?Or he can stay in and force the Grizzlies to call his bluff?would they really take him knowing that he may never come over? That?s one way to get him to fall to three.?
