Blake Griffin, the Oklahoma sophomore who is expected to be a top-five pick in the 2008 NBA draft, has been ticketed by Norman police for outraging public decency.

Police officer Barry Grippen wrote the citation saying he saw Griffin urinating on bushes in a parking lot Thursday morning.

The report says Griffin told the officer he was waiting for a friend and couldn't leave the area to find a bathroom.

Australia's Patrick Mills, who will be a sophomore at St. Mary's, had an impressive 20 points against the United States and 22 against Argentina in the Olympics.

"I'm glad my Duke team doesn't play St. Mary's," said US coach Mike Krzyzewski. "He is a great guard, and he will be an NBA guard."

"I played against the best [in the Olympics] and I take a lot from it and learned a lot," said Mills. "I'm much better."

The stock of Spanish point guard Ricky Rubio continues to rise as he battles international competition at the Olympics in Beijing, according to Yahoo! Sports.

"He?s a different kind of a European talent," Team USA managing director Jerry Colangelo said of Rubio. "I can see the sizzle."

He turns 18 in October and could enter the NBA Draft in 2009, but sources in Spain claim that he will wait to join the NBA until 2010.

"I will be shocked if he isn?t a top-two pick in the draft," one Western Conference GM said. "If he gets a jumper at all, he is a lock as a team leader and ticket draw. His tenacity, toughness, and poise at such a young age are remarkable. He is the guy every GM wants to see this season."
