    That might be true, but still, too much talent to pass up if he's available. Besides, we need all the help we can get in our frontcourt.

    how much of his supposed 7 feet height is tall hair?

    If he's reallly 6-9.5 in shoes with a shaved head then there's less reason to get excited.

    This. Besides, if the Spurs really wanted another project big man with tremendous upside, they could always pick Jeremy Tyler.

    Because the spurs already have 12+ players under contract..The spurs can afford to wait on this kid and it has nothing to do with Richards. All the spurs will be looking for this summer is for 4th or 5th big (since thats all they can afford salary wise). Not sure why everyone is even bring up Ryan Richards since he very little experience when he was drafted and now has not played in over a year. I take this kid if he there...

    He said the opposite. That we could draft the kid and wait for his development for a few years. And I Igree with him.

    If Nogueira wants a first round guarantee to stay in the draft, Spurs should guarantee him the 29th pick.

    This is my pick for the 1st round.

    I wonder if Spurs have alot of interest in this kid, he will be a lottery pick next year, would be really dumb to pass on that, and having 2 versatile, and talented 7 footers under 20(Richards, and Nogueira) would be something really looking forward to for Spurs fans.

    Still hoping Spurs can buy a early 2nd round pick, and Jajuan Johnson who is my second choice, followed by Tyler Honeycutt, and Jeremy Tyler.

    Has there been any interest from the Spurs about Lucas?

    My second round sucks, and hoping Bojan Bogdanovic keeps falling like he has recently, but doubt he falls that far, also Xavi Rabaseda is another sleeper for that pick, but contract issues in there country are costing them to drop it seems. If not I don't see any point guards later in the round that are better than George Hill(unless he is traded), so I would just trade the pick to get a 2nd round for next year.

    You can never say never. We all know the draft is a glorified crap shoot. While there is no way for anyone to know whether or not Johnson will be there at #29, you can't say there is a 0% chance.

    Stop it man. Now, you've got me hoping and wishing.

    I don't want to further derail this Bebe thread by going on about Johnson, so I"ll post my remaining comments in that thread.

    Yeah guess you are right on that, but Spurs will have to trade up to grab Johnson, its far more likely he is gone by the 20th pick then he is their at 29.

    Barring an unexpected last-minute promise from a team in the 1st round, Lucas Nogueira will withdraw from the draft according to his agent.

    Lucas Nogueira is withdrawing from the draft according to his agent. Smart move. Couldn't get a 1st round promise. Next year he'll be better

    Today his value is al all time low.
    The smart move would be for the spurs to make him a first round promise now that's possible...in three/four years this move could pay huge dividends!

    Doesn't mean he was going to get drafted in the 1st either..Kid simply needs to refine his game and he should be lottery pick in 2-3 years..

    6'11 height, 7'5 wingspan, 215 lbs, and yes only 18 years old..His measurements alone would have gotten a 1st rd pick this season and with a little more seasoning I have no doubt he will be lotto bound in a couple of seasons. No reason to rush to the highest level of european basketball if you cannot recieve any PT when you get there...

    I disagree. With all of the quality collegians who pulled out, he'll be lucky to be rated first round next year at any point whatsoever. In addition, that's one more year to pick his game apart. The best thing to be in the draft, outside of a sure fire #1 overall, is a mystery.
