On June 24, 2009, the Minnesota Timberwolves acquired the 5th pick in the 2009 NBA Draft. With the 5th pick, Minnesota selected Rubio, making him the first player born in the 1990s to be drafted. The following day, Rubio's father told a Spanish media outlet that his son may return to Spain for at least one more season Rubio had a buyout clause in his Joventut contract reported by various media outlets as ranging from USD 6.6 million to 8.2 million, and Timberwolves general manager David Kahn admitted that Rubio may have to play one more season in Spain to reduce or avoid the buyout.
