Blazers guard Rudy Fernandez isn't sure if Ricky Rubio is ready to play in the NBA.

Rubio, 19, is considered by many to be a top-three pick in this June's NBA Draft.

"He's a very good player, but I don't know if he is prepared to play in the NBA," said Fernandez. "I think he's a good player, but this is a big jump for him."

Fernandez said that he plans to speak with Rubio in person now that Portland's season is over, and he has returned to their native country of Spain.

"Then I can explain everything. He's excited to play in the NBA for sure, because for everybody it is a dream to play in the best league in the world," Fernandez continued.
