by the way, im also wandering how come u seem not to know anything about the kid. he dropped 25 against the US at the world championships! wasnt any one of u watching the game?

Man you guys are twisting my words around. I simply said that i didn't know much about the guy not that i have never heard of him and yes i do recall the US v ITA game last year. I think he's a great player, just not as good as Fernandez will be, but i could be wrong. It's just my opinion.
After doing a little reasearch on the two players heres what i found:
Rudy Fernadez 06-07 Euroleague Stats

Marco Belinelli 06-07 Euroleague Stats
http://www.euroleague.net/competitio...=for&pcode=BCN
Summary-Fernandez shoots a better fg%, 3pt%, and FT% than Marco and averages 3ppg more than him while playing 2mpg less against relatively the same competition. He also managed to average more stls and assts as well.
And if you followed the FIBA championships last year in its entirety, meaning aside from the USA games, you would also recall that Fernandez and the Spanish team won the Gold medal where as the Italian team finished what 8th or 9th. Not to say that stats mean everything or that Belinelli sucks, i just think that fernandez is the better player overall and has more versatility to his game than Marco does but i think both will be solid players in the NBA and i wish them both nothin but the best. I still think that Rudy was a steal at #24 but you guys got a solid player as well.
