fyi its Paulao.

He'll stay overseas almost for certain. I've heard Nene comparisons. I think more Varejao. Maybe Brazilian Wolves fan Varejao17 can offer some insight.

Im brazilian too. Personally i think he remembers more Nene than AV, he is very strong and i think his game is much more suitable to the NBA than Europe, because he plays with a lot of intensity.

I think you got a big, big steal.

As for coming to the NBA this season, i cant say anything about it, because i dont know his contract in Spain, but well, some years in Spain never cant hurt, look at AV, Scola and Splitter, for exemple.

It would benefit the Wolves more if he stays overseas.

Right... I don't know a lot about him, just relember the under-19 where he dominated... he's a strong player, not athletic at all, slow, great wingspam... Something like Kendrick Perkins IMO... If he stays 1-2 years playing in a top league in europe before he gets here, his game would grow a lot...
