I keep hearing this guy's name. Tell me what the fascination is with him. Is he a Ginobili reincarnation?
A contract is a contract..and a contract has the same value as a law..so unless the team's contract isnt a valid one, there is no way

Wow, the way that guy moves, he is Ginobili esque looking.
What are the buyout issues supposedly? Is it as complicated as Scola?
Hopefully teams in the lower third of the 1st round are scared off by the contractual issues and he falls to #28.
Buyout is a stated $2.5M or thereabouts....
But he's working with his Euro squad to sign a MAJOR long-term contract, so it's possible there might be a Fran Vazquez situation...
Supposedly his buyout is reasonable next summer. However, his Spanish team is prepared to offer him a huge contract that'd pay him more than an NBA rookie contract will.
So it could become an even worse situation than Scola, depending on whether Fernandez wants to come to the NBA or not.

Real GM's Mock Draft.
Here's the analysis and evaluation of Fernandez and projection of where he may go.
24. Rudy Fernandez - Phoenix
Shooting Guard. Spain
It looks like Fernandez won’t be ready to come over to the NBA for another season or two, which will probably make him even more attractive to cap-conscious Phoenix. It will be unfortunate that Fernandez won’t get to play in the world’s best league immediately because he could become one of the best shooting guards we’ve seen in recent history.
Analysis and projection of the Spurs pick @ #28
28. Marco Belinelli - San Antonio
Shooting Guard. Italy
Belinelli shoots it better than Fernandez, but struggled this past season due to his shot selection. Belinelli gives San Antonio much needed youth and athleticism on the wings. He is actually a lot like a young Brent Barry, though not quite as complete

What are the chances we trade down with Seattle, giving us the 31 and 33 pick? I hae a feeling we can snag two really good Euro players that we can take our time with. Fernandez and Splitter.
Together this will give us an A+ draft night IMO.
Yes, I know, wishful thinking but combine the draft depth with their respective euro contract problems I could see both falling out of the 1st round.
