Hi guys, I\'m from Argentina and news here are Bobcats are about to sign Argentinian SG/PF Walter Herrmann. He\'s currently playing with the current Spain champion Unicaja Malaga. He had really good chances to be the best Argentinian player ever until he lost his whole family and girlfriend in less than a week (his father died, then his mother, sisters and girlfriend went to the funeral and died in an accident) when he was playing Olympic Games. By that time he had won Spanish League MVP, Most Spectacular Player, Best Rookie, Finals MVP and so on. After that, he lowered his game a lot, recovering it little by little. His current stats are 11.9 points and 3.4 boards in 24 mins. He\'s a hell of an offensive player, unstopable when penetrating and amazing 3 points shooter. Poor defense, though.
If this is true this guy sounds like something I have not heard a lot about him but if yall have just post it in this thread. He sounds solid on offense.

Thoughts?

Edit: Here is his stats from nbadraft.net

He played great basketball in 2004 olympics, he would be solid addition.

How big is he? I\'ve never seen him play but he looks like a big guy. Kind of like lattimer in the movie The Program (which is a good thing)

Heres a good read from Slamonline.
It sounds like hes been through a whole lot of stuff over the last few years, but if hes been able to get his mind right, then it sounds like he has the athletic ability to possibly make the team.
After all the stuff that life has thrown at him, I\'ll be pulling for him.

^^^^^
I agree that shows his toughness right there, it said after all of the stuff that happened to him he still came back averaging a double double.

Damn, now thats some toughness right there.
Gives us some depth and can score inside and outside.
Good rebounder too

That review sure didn\'t make him sound too great. They basically said he has lots of athleticism, but not a lot of basketball skills.... and he can\'t go left. :(
