Roberto Duenas (58th pick, 1997)
After a successful career, almost all of which was spent with Barcelona, Duenas retired three and a half years ago aged only 31 due to chronic back problems. He has had his jersey retired by Barca, and now works with the team as an ambassador/youth coach. His presence on this list is due only to the technicality that sees his draft rights still outstanding, not because his future presence in the NBA is in any way up for debate.

- Roberto Duenas
Duenas retired in 2007, aged 32. He now works for Barcelona in some capacity, but my Spanish isn't very good so I can't tell you what it is. I could tell you what the Spanish for "milk wench" is, but Roberto Duenas is not a milk wench. Not yet.
In researching that underwhelming stanza, I was alerted to the presence of the Spanish word "desquitarse." Easily my favourite Spanish word of all time.
