Around SBN: Identifying The 19th-Best Team In Baseball

The Year spanish discovered Rudy

I just thougth Blazers fans would love the Video I am attaching. Rudy Fernandez MVP copa del Rey. His team lost but the other team were much better. Maybe AmImart1 or Nakamura has already posted. If so sorry. 

There you'll find recognizable stuff but 5 years ago. He delivers today the same stuff than he did 5 years ago but more often and efficiency. This is the reason he will not actually be a "rookie" next NBA season IMHO.

Some facts you should know although some of them you will find out by yourselves:

  • This is the final of a second most important competition in Spain. Called Copa del Rey. A lot of NBA Scouts were there.
  • The teams were Tau (white) and Joventud (green). In Tau roster were former and current NBA players. Macijauskas, Calderon, Scola, Noccioni and maybe some other. In Joventud Digbeu, Tabak and Rudy (guess which #?).
  • Rudy made the spanish team at 2004 Olympic games and Noccioni and Scola were gold medalist. 
  • Rudy was18 yo (it was in 2004) and his coach was Aito Garcia (spanish national team coach at Oly). His stats were 15,7 points 5,7 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals per game.

I hope you enjoy.
