MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) – Ricky Rubio will make his unofficial debut with the Minnesota Timberwolves Saturday night as they host the Milwaukee Bucks in preseason basketball at the Target Center.

Even though it doesn't count for anything, it will be Rubio's first game with the Timberwolves since being picked in the NBA Draft two years ago.

WCCO-TV sat down with Rubio recently to get his thoughts on playing in the NBA, playing for the Timberwolves and living in Minnesota.

Mike Max: Ricky, you've arrived and now it's time to play basketball. You don't have a whole lot of time to get ready, so what do you try and do here. What do you try to get out of this training camp?

Rubio: Oh it's always a little bit scary because you don't know how it's going to work and how it's going to happen, but I have only one thing on my mind: I have to enjoy it because it's been a dream come true, it's been crazy and I'm going to enjoy it for sure.

Mike Max: What should people expect from you? What is it that you're going to bring to this team right now?

Rubio: I don't know exactly yet because I haven't talked with the coaches to see what they're expecting from me and what I can do to help the team.

Mike Max: There's a lot of pressure on you, I don't know if you put it on yourself, but do you feel that? Do you feel the pressure of what people are expecting from you and all eyes being on you?

Rubio: Of course I feel pressure because everybody is talking about what I can do, what we can do, but when you get on the court and play you forget all those things. You just want to enjoy playing, enjoy what you've been doing since you were a kid.

Mike Max: Were you shocked when you got off the airplane and you came here to sign your contract with how many people were waiting for you?

Rubio: It was amazing. I was wondering who was behind me and what they were waiting for, but I really appreciate what they did. I really appreciate the warmth that people showed me and show the team. Other people talk about Minnesota and explained to me about how nice the people are and how they support the team, and that's important.
