The Blazers GM, Pritchard, used to play in Spain I believe and has a better feeling then most GM's of actual translatable talent. I hope at least. As far as Sergio, he is a different situation, he was never even a starter over there and was drafted purely on upside whereas Fernandez has at least proven he is a very capable player over in Spain.

Well, I could be wrong about him being the best player in Europe as I don't follow European ball much, maybe catch a couple games on the net a year and read a some articles. So, my question is, why is there so much hype about Rudy if there are all these other players that you think are better? Is it just that he is flashy?

By the way, I like the Brent Barry comparison. I think their games are similar, but I always felt that Barry kind of underachieved. Hopefully Rudy won't. If he can be as good as Barry then he will find some success in the NBA, and anything better than Barry and he will be considered a very good player in the NBA.
