Henk Norel. I was looking around seeing if we've given numbers to some of the newer guys yet, and I spied Henk. NO one talks about him. I very well could have been in a cave when whatever it is we plan on doing with im was annouce, but I must have missed it. Does anyone know anything about him? Do we plan on bringing him over? and when? What can we expect from him? I seriously forgot he even existed.

We have not done anything with him to my knowledge.

He is a project at best. Likely he was drafted either to stash for a couple years to see if he can develop, or for some purpose with Rubio's buyout. (Not sure how)

Talent wise I doubt he is an NBA player

Pekovic and Rubio are the two euro hopes.

I thought you were going to talk about the kings of rock Foreigner who had a magic belt that grants wishes. I was disappointed by seeing Henk Norel instead.

Henk is not terrible. He's got legit 6'10+ size, good skills, and surprising amount of toughness. His big issues is his scrawniness. Give him couple years to fill out and he could be quite decent.

You could've called it the 3rd best Dutchman in Minnesota.

3. Herdware Henk / Dutch Boy
2. Bert Blyleven
1. Your royal Klompness
