The new national hope of reaching the elite plays for Fuenlabrada in Spain and also for the National Team. The club he defends is part of the Endesa League, the highest category of Spanish basketball. This season he is averaging 6 points, 3 rebounds and 0.4 assists per game.
Juan was born in Santa Fe on November 21, 2002.and he did not debut in the National League since in 2020 he was transferred from Unión de Santa Fe to Fuenlabrada. Before his debut in Spain, he was part of the Argentine U19.
At Fuenlabrada he has played a total of 36 games since his arrival with an average of 16 minutes on the pitch. With the Senior Selection he debuted in 2021 at just 18 years old. He went against Paraguay for the Qualifiers and, since then, he has been called up regularly.
In his short experience of just four appearances with the light blue and white plus two games in which he remained on the substitute bench, he had the opportunity to share the field with Facundo Campazzo, Luis Scola and Carlos Delfino. Furthermore, he was trained by Sergio Hernández.
How did Juan Fernández get to the Draft?
In order for a player to be eligible, they must comply with: having played at least one year in a university in the United States, being 19 years old when the Draft takes place, or having played at least one year in a professional competition in another country. The latter is the one that Fernández fulfills. Players apply on their own through an official form that is subsequently accepted or not accepted by the NBA.

The basketball player who is not selected in any of the two rounds by any of the 30 franchises is automatically declared a free agent. So you can negotiate your signing with any NBA team. The great lights will be upon the French Victor Wenbanyamaa future NBA star who has already toured Las Vegas with his team, and is probably the first draftee.
The last Argentine that was chosen in a Draft was Leandro Bolmaro, in 2020, in the 23rd position of the first round, the highest for an Argentine in history. This year, the Cordovan, like Campazzo, they left the tournament to go play in Europe. The NBA, thus, expects a new Argentine. Will it be Fernandez?
