Minnesota Timberwolves’ rookie point guard Ricky Rubio is currently third amongst Western Conference guards in the newly released all-star fan vote.

Through 14 games, Rubio is averaging 10.7 points, 8.3 assists, and 4.6 rebounds per game for the 6-8 Wolves.

Kobe Bryant and Clipper’s guard Chris Paul in the guard vote, but the fact that he’s ahead of other big name guards in the Western Conference shows the immense respect that fans have for Rubio.
