Bill Fitch made Rudy Petrovic a good effort player on a mediocre team. That's what Drazen Fernandez needs.

I recall when Drazen was a blazer, he was heckled for being a euro, notably in New Jersey he was heckled pretty badly. amurricans weren't too familiar with eastern europe, assumed they were russian commies.

they were slavic commies. Big difference.

Drazen once scored 112 points in a game:

Other notables who got to 100:
Dajuan Wagner
Cheryl Miller
Lisa Leslie
Wilt (of course)

I didn't know that. Was it a coincidence that he became a Net? No, Stern probably arranged it to knock over obstacles to internationalizing the league.
