Fran Vazquez

From Hoopedia

Francisco Vázquez González (born May 1, 1983 in Chantada, Galicia, Spain), commonly known as Fran Vázquez, is a Spanish pro basketball player. He was selected 11th overall in the 2005 NBA Draft by the Orlando Magic.

Vázquez made headlines when he announced that he would remain in Spain for at least the following season. This came as a surprise to the Magic, who expected him to join Dwight Howard in the frontcourt for the 2005-2006 season, and enraged many Magic fans. Vasquez gave no indication he would be returning to Europe after he was drafted and had indicated that he would join the Magic. The Magic retain his NBA rights indefinitely and thus potentially can sign him in some future season.

Vázquez currently plays for FC Barcelona as power forward / center. He has a contract until 2008-2009 season.
