He's on New Jersey's Shaw Summer League team and this is from the Nets website: Patrick Femerling C 7-1 265 03/04/75 Washington '99 I watched the Nets/Knicks on ESPN tonight and he was matched against Eric Chenowith. I thought Chenowith was legitimately 7'1" & 270#. Femerling made Chenowith look small. ------------------ Raef to Rocks in '01-'02!

Thx *Finn* - He's a little slow but fundamentally sound. I was just amazed at how big Femerling is. I think the Nets have released Eschmeyer so he may make the Nets' roster. ------------------ Raef to Rocks in '01-'02!
I watched him play in Germany a few times. He is not bad, but also not very good. He can't dominate in Germany, so I don't think he would be much more than 6 fouls against Shaq in the NBA. BUT - I'd rather see him on the Rockets than Cato...

Re-Sign Hakeem. Re-Sign Mo Taylor. Re-Sign Moochie and AirBullard. Pick up the Langhi option for another year. Sign-and-trade Shandon Anderson for Bo Outlaw.
