Hadn't heard about this before....Barrett and Aaron are in Spain with Coach Gates playing for Global Sports Academy. I think this is the thing Scottie played in last summer which propelled him to a different level. Hoping for the same for these kids.

FWIW, the language of Barcelona is Catalan, not Spanish (actually Castilian is a better term for Spanish). Catalan is a Romance language which is a direct descendant of Latin (just as Spanish (Castilian), French, Italian Portuguese and others are). Hence, Catalan and Spanish are "siblings".
That said, the vast majority of people from Barcelona (and Catalonia) do speak Spanish at a (very nearly) native level.

Can anyone report: How is Falzon moving around? Is he 100%? Are his three-pointers falling into the basket fluently? Is he going to start and star for us this season? This inquiring Cats fan is interested in the situation.

He's doing well enough to be playing on a touring team in Spain......

Fair enough. Is he starting for GSA? How many points, rbs, minutes is he averaging? Are we anticipating him becoming the BIG comeback player of the year? I hope so.
