Because he was Iranian, kinda like Wang Zhizhi got drafted in 2nd round partially because he was a Chinese army officer.
Because he didnt wanna leave iran or more to the point, he was orderd not to leave. if you seen this kid play, you know he's a nba starter type calibare player. i think teams will persist till they get him. seven foot two or three guy with he's skills are a rarity.

Iran 11-43 Croatia, midway through the second quarter. I was hoping for an upset. Aussies locked into a quarters against USA now Iran
Brilliant. The only NBA team that's not prohibited from signing him. Toronto won't ever be able to trade him. They could sign him to a cheap 3 year contract, with a team option on the 3rd.
he has stated that it's his dream to play in the NBA It would be a bummer, if politics got in the way of basketball
he is good on score box!!! did you see how many points he let croatia get? i watched some his asian games 4 years ago, and now he has improved nothing at all!!!!!!!!
^^^You're just plain stupid. he's avgerage so far is 17 points 11 boards 3 blocks on 485 shooting. he has dominated centers like oberto who start for the spurs. he also destroyed nba players like kiristic and millic. you seriousley know nothing about basketball. there is a reason why scouts are after this guy.
dominate oberto? http://results.beijing2008.cn/WRM/ENG/INF/BK/C73/BKM400A12.shtml#BKM400A12 oberto played 13 minutes, and scola scored 20 on him. and where is this destroyed nba players like kristic and milicic? Can you show me the game where this game is played?
