Marcelo “The Brazilian Hobbit” Huertas is an old rookie. Like, 32 old. That’s old. Not quite Pablo Prigioni old, but still old. In fact, Pablo Prigioni is probably a good comparison for plenty of superficial reasons:
-Both old
-Both Euro
-And by Euro I mean South American
-Both point guards
-Both don’t score very much
-Both are white I think
The main difference between them is that Prigioni was sort of a legend in Spain whom many American fans had heard of, while Huertas was not a legend in Europe as far as I can tell. Also, Huertas is three years younger, so he has a good six or seven years left to make an impact in the NBA as long as his body and hair hold up. Then we’ll see who the legend is.
[Hint: it’s Kobe. Extra hint: I don’t think Huertas’ hair is going to hold up.]
