Raul Rivera

[Safetyboi]

According to hoopshype.com, the Hawks have invited Raul Rivera, a center, to have a workout. There is a link but I wonder if there is anyone out there who can translate it to see who this guy is.

I can read a little Spanish, so I'll summarize:

Quote:

---

1. The Hawks invited Rivera to a workout (to the surprise of everyone).

2. His agent says the Hawks are interested because they need a "big man to develop."

3. Raul is 23 y.o., measures 7'1, and has been playing competitively for at least four years.

4. Injuries prevented him from playing a lot last season.

5. He was going to play in Spain, but he had "trouble with his passport."

6. His agent said the Hawks could send him to Europe or keep him in his current league.
