sorry I meant the FIBA Europe Young Player of the Year
The 22-year-old was named the FIBA Europe Young Player of the Year for his efforts with club and country in 2006, culminating in a World Championship for Spain.
FIBA Europe Secretary General Nar Zanolin and the President of the Spanish Basketball Federation Jose Luis Saez were on hand to present Fernandez with the award, which earned him a standing ovation from the sellout crowd.
"This award is a real honor," said Fernandez.
"It means that I am ahead of people like Andrea Bargnani and Ersan Ilyasova (second and third in the voting) and that's something that really motivates me to get better and to continue to do the same things I've been doing until now."
