What ever happened to this dude? Is he just going to be another 2nd round Euro who never came over? Are there plans on bringing him over?

I think the front office has forgotten that we've drafted him

I asked the same question last year and someone put up his stats from a team somewhere and he was averaging like 4 points a game with a couple of rebounds. How can we find his most recent stats?

Had to dig around, seems he has bounced around since being drafted. Played briefly in Italy and Spain before resigning in Greece.

His name didn't fit on the back of the jersey, so they left him in Europe. These things happen. The promising NBA career of Adolph Wolfeschlegelsteinhausenbergerdorf was cut short somewhere near the fifth syllable.

dude its not even 8:30 in the morning and I already learned something, thanks Deeney

The longest name used by anyone is Adolph Blaine Charles David Earl Frederick Gerald Hubert Irvin John Kenneth Lloyd Martin Nero Oliver Paul Quincy Randolph Sherman Thomas Uncas Victor William Xerxes Yancy Wolfeschlegelsteinhausenbergerdorff, Senior, who was born at Bergedorf, near Hamburg, Germany, on 29 Feb. 1904. On printed forms he uses only his eighth and second Christian names and the first 35 letters of his surname. The full version of the name of 590 letters appeared in the 12th edition of The Guinness Book of Records. He now lives in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, U.S.A., and has shortened his surname to Mr. Wolfe + 585, Senior.
