	Fran Vazquez, the Runaway Draft Pick - JBB 2006 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Vazquez, 22, made a curious, if not controversial, decision to forgo the NBA, recently signing a four-year deal to play for a local professional team in Spain.
		With Vazquez prepared to fulfill the terms of his contract in Spain -- and the possibility of a prohibitive buyout clause complicating matters -- the Magic could own the rights to a player whose scouting report consists of one word: Worthless.
		Vazquez came there with his girlfriend, Ana Toral, for three days in conjunction with the NBA draft on June 28.

		The 2.09m Vazquez, who emerged as one of his country's most promising players in the overtime win against Croatia in the quarter-final of that tournament, had been used sparingly by Pesquera before that.
		Vazquez is one of the most watched players in Europe since deciding to remain in Spain instead of playing for Orlando in the NBA.
		At times this season, Vazquez has looked outstanding but the 22-year-old accepts he has a lot of work to do before he can start drawing comparisons with Pau Gasol, Spain's most famous player and a star in the NBA with the Memphis Grizzlies.

		Basically, the article basically states that Vazquez was excited about coming to the NBA prior to the draft, got scared after visiting New York and once he returned home after the draft his European agent was waiting with a four-year $8.31 million contract.
		In the interview Vazquez admitted to being intimidated by New York (he grew up in a town of 2,000 people) and his girlfriend had reservations about coming to America.
		There is still a chance that Vazquez will come to the NBA in four years, as long as his girlfriend’s cool with it.

	Fran To Play Overseas!? - JBB 2006
		Franz Vazquez is not going to make or break the Magic's season and having him develop overseas in the best International league in the world is not a bad thing.
		And guys, don't make it look like Fran wants to sign with Madrid rather than with us, Madrid is just willing to buy him out of his current contract.
		I seriously doubt that Fran will sign a 6 year deal and ruin his chance to live his dream and play in the NBA(I think it's his dream, which is why he declared for the draft).
