He'll have a terrific year at Tau

yea i really like nocedal. i could see him developing into a franchise player in the nba and going in the top 5 in 2011 or 2012.

he is an athletic scoring PG that is clutch, can run a team as well, good shooter (needs to still get more consistent from 3 although can hit it), slasher that is quick and really excels in the open court (sometimes forces things off the dribble and right now creates most opportunities for his teammates off drive and kick), lots of potential, young and inexperienced, needs to add weight/strength, is a good ballhandler but still needs to develop his left hand.

Likely Role in the NBA: Slashing uptempo PG, that can be a combo guard, that can score by getting to the basket and shooting from the outside. Like I said if he continues to develop I could see him becoming a franchise player for someone because he fits the mold of the new uptempo PG that is having success in the NBA.

Getting experience in Europe will be the key for hin, developing for 2 or 3 years would do him the world of good and allow Rubio, Wall and co to get into the NBA first. 2012 would be his eligible year and given 3 years would make him a very intersting prospect. Has good size for a PG so would also have good defensive potential in time.
