NBA Draft Odds Uncertain for Nevill
Quick update on center Luke Nevill, who's hoping to find a place in the NBA Draft later this month, but whose stock does not seem to be rising appreciably -- at least not according to the online mock drafts that largely predict he won't be drafted.
According to DraftExpress.com, the 7-foot-2 Australian might have a hard time in the NBA.
"Nevill got almost 4 touches per game at the rim as a finisher and shot 81% on those attempts, good for first amongst all the players we looked at," he site wrote in a recent scouting report. "Clearly, his size and touch were simply too imposing for many of the centers he matched up with. He also got 8.5 possessions per game on the block, almost 55.5% of his offense. He scored .95 PPP on his touches, good for second amongst centers, but just above the average of .94 for power forwards.
"The news is not all good on Nevill though, as his 1.1 possessions per game from offensive rebounds ranks him fifth amongst the players on our list, and considering his size, level of competition, and the fact that many of the players on our list aren’t legitimate prospects, that really is not a good sign. Nevill did get fouled on 19.6% of his half court possessions, the second most of any post player on our list. Nevill wouldn’t be anything more than a third center in the NBA, but his finishing ability and size may give him a chance to be drafted."
