Federico Kammerichs (51st pick, 2002)
- After being drafted, Kammerichs spent five years in the ACB with various teams. He then packed his bags and went home to Argentina, where he has played the last three years with Regatas, where he has been the nation's best rebounder, and one of it's very best shotblockers. All NBA teams need shotblocking and rebounding. But do they need it from a 30 year old 6'8 Argentinian forward?
Throughout that time, Kammerichs has had huge amounts of facial hair. But the approximated date at which he shaved it down into that fantastic 80's Tom Tucker tribute is unknown.

Bad news, Portland Trail Blazers fans! Federico Kammerichs has re-signed for a second season with Regatas Corrientes. You'd better hope LaMarcus Aldridge lives up to that contract.

- Federico Kammerichs
The finest Argentinian German basketball player with the initials FK that you'll ever see, former Blazers draft pick Kammerichs is in his native Argentina, where he was recently named an All Star. Kammerichs is averaging 13.8 points and a league leading 11.8 rebounds; the second leading rebounder has a mere 8.1. He's also shooting 40% from three point range, pours in 2.3 assists and 1.3 blocks per game, and is in his prime at age 29. Could he be the Blazers' in-house replacement for Travis Outlaw next season?
No.
