You need to read this article. Is this a sleeper or what? I'm curious how this story plays out.

Trade up to #1 and pick him.

I saw some film on him, he seems to be too slow to have Lebron comparisons. Whenever I think of Lebron, I think of a freight train, and this kid is very average by NBA standards.

lol that is laughable. Brazilian LDO? The SUPERSTAR of Brazilian MAIN league is a guy who couldn't get more than 5 minutes a game playing for the NOH a few years ago, so you can imagine the level of the 2nd tier league.

There is one semi interesting Brazilian player in this draft, his name is Lucas Nogueira.

He is way too skinny tho and he had some major work ethic issues which is obviously shown by the development or lack of development of his body. If somehow he can get stronger that guy can be a steal more likely than not he won't tho. Sadly.

As for LeBron-esque body, DaJuan Summers says hello. Where is he now? D-League? Yeah.

Speaking of Summers, He might be a decent guy to bring back up and let him shoot 3s off the bench.
