Anderson Varejao

Varejao began his career in France with Franca in 1998 and after a stint with Barcelona, he decided to go to the NBA. Drafted in the 2nd round in 2004 by the Magic, he was traded a month later to Cleveland. While he was good in Cleveland, Varejao dealt with injury issues throughout his career.

He did manage to play 81 games in 2006-07, averaging 6 points and 6 rebounds, playing around 24 minutes a game. He averaged 7 points and 5 rebounds in the Finals. Varejao was with the team till 2016, when they traded him to the Blazers who released him straight away. He then joined the Warriors for the next 2 years and despite being waived in 2017, he got a championship ring from them for that season.
