I don't know if a lot of you know this name, but for the past few months leading up to the draft, this power forward from Brazil was considered a top 10 pick be nbadraft.net. I was just curious what happened to varejao on draft day? Did he pull himself out of the lotto, or did he just go unpicked? What's the scoop because I haven't heard?
he pulled out . link for that: and he was top ten maybe in very early spring. after he became to fall. specially after his team won euroleague final four and he was non factor.
I must say that I never really understood the hype around Anderson Varejao. I have seen some Barcelona games, and in those games he didn't do much in those minutes he played. To me, he seemed to be a bit to slow and unathletic to do something in the NBA. His stats for the regular season in Euroleague was 5.5 ppg, 4 rpg and 0.2 apg in 16 minutes per game. He deserves credit for his hairstyle dough!
