Early Life in Basketball :

González stood 2.29 m (7 ft 6 in),[1][6] making him the tallest Argentine basketball player in history.[6][8] He started his career with the youths of Hindú Club de Resistencia at the age of 16 (and already 2.15 m (7 ft 1 in) tall).[6] Subsequently, León Najnudel, then coach of the Argentine national team, recommended the board of Gimnasia y Esgrima La Plata to sign the player for the team's Argentine second division roster.[6] During 1986, González helped Gimnasia achieve promotion to the Argentine first division.[6] The player then signed for Sport Club Cañadense, but saw little action due to an injury that left him out of the fields for 9 months.[6]

In 1988, González was drafted by the Atlanta Hawks in the third round of the NBA Draft, after the American team bought the player's rights from his Argentine team for a 30,000 Argentine australes fee.[1][6] However, he was unable to adapt to the physical demands of NBA basketball, partly due to a serious knee injury.
