Ford Mock 5.0

Another note on Nogueira- his standing reach is 9'6". That is higher than Shaq, Oden and Larry Sanders. Physically he is Kevin Garnett's ballpark. With his athletic ability he could become an game changing defender.

After bringing in 60+ players for workout, this would be such as let down.

You want to draft 10 players then? My bad...

isn't 218 lbs really light for a 6'11" center in the NBA...he'll get manhandled.

Yes it is. Being 19 he should be able to fill out. He isn't going to be a power big man but we have Kanter and Favors for that.

Just depends on his frame. If he's built like Jeremy Evans, then no, he won't be able to fill out. From what I've seen, he does have the potential to put on more muscle mass. I'd have no problem with the Jazz drafting Nogueira #14.

I'd be happy with that!

I said previously I don't want Nogueira at 14, if the order of these guys was reversed I'd be happy, and ultimately to me it doesn't matter which order they go in...so yeah, I'd be happy with this too.

 

[Nate505]

Why do you think the Jazz are high on this guy...
