He's a really raw player, though to be expected from a 18 year old playing outside the USA. He reminds me of Andrew Bynum when he first came into the league. Bynum was a really lanky kid who look uncoordinated and didn't know what was going on around him. However, I think Nogueira, like Bynum, has the tools to get better. I definitely think he should stay in Spain for at least two years (maybe three) before coming over.
At this point and time, I see him as a late first or early second rounder in this draft. He could withdraw though, in turn benefiting his stock for next year.

Re: Lucas Nogueira
I don't know anything about body mass, but looking at Nogueira he looks like a guy that can build muscle, maybe it's his shoulders or something that give that impression
It's going to be a glorious day... I feel my luck could change

Re: Lucas Nogueira
my first look on him as that he missing alot of understanding and feal for game. simpley doesn't know how to put it on court. looked confused, doesn't recognize situation and doesn't know where to be and what to do. he will need lot of years just to become usefull player...another case of guy who only has great abilitys like milicic, lampe, zubcic etc., but don't know how to use them. tough this is only by first impresion

Re: Lucas Nogueira
Lucas has begun to play basketball 4 years ago, so he´s still learning the game. Kid has potential through the roof
