Cearense signs Lucas Nogueira

SKY/Basquete Cearense (NBB) signed 28-year old Brazilian ex-international center Lucas Nogueira (213-102kg-92). He played last season at Muharraq in Bahrain Premier League. He helped them to make it to the semifinals.
In 2013 Nogueira was drafted by Boston Celtics (NBA) in first round (16th overall).
Nogueira was also a member of Brazilian international program for some years. He played for Brazilian Senior National Team back in 2011 and previously for University National Team in 2011.
Nogueira represented Brazil at the World University Games in Shenzhen (China) nine years ago. His stats at that event were 6 games: 4.3ppg, 4.7rpg, 1.5bpg.
Nogueira has played also professionally in Spain (Movil Estudiantes and Baloncesto Fuenlabrada), NBA (Atlanta Hawks and Toronto Raptors) and NBA G League (Fort Wayne Mad Ants and Raptors 905 Missisauga).
The list of the past achievements is quite long as among others he was voted Eurobasket.com All-World Championships U19 Honorable Mention back in 2011.
He could be described: A powerful inside player with long arms and great leaping ability. Can dunk with ferocity and grabs lots of dynamic rebounds. Need yet to have lot of work to do to capitalize on his gifts of size and athleticism, the same hes very promising and could easily become an NBA superstar player in few years.
