Brazilian Augusto Lima was somewhat up and down over the course of this tournament, but he was potentially one of the more intriguing prospects around due to his excellent physical profile. Lima has good size at 6-9, to go along with an excellent wingspan and nice athleticism, which evolved first and foremost on the offensive glass, where he was a force at times. Offensively, he’s not terribly skilled or smart, but he does run the floor well and looks comfortable facing up and attacking the rim from 8-12 feet. His perimeter shot looked inconsistent and he was fairly hit or miss on the defensive end, appearing to lack some awareness on this end of the floor. He’s a fairly limited guy at the moment, but considering that he’s only 17 years old, he still has plenty of time to develop.

L’Hospitalet 2009: Mirotic Makes History
January 8, 2009
We were intrigued last year with Lima’s potential, and while his physical development appears to be ahead of schedule, the skill department looks well behind. Actually, he hasn’t developed any reliable scoring weapons, just producing on both ends of the court with his superior strength and athleticism. Lima is really filling out his body, and his impressive shoulders just let us think that he can still add more weight.
Back to his abilities, Lima never showed a refined low-post game, a reliable shot or any improved ability to put the ball on the floor and allow you to think that he can beat his opponents off the dribble on a regular basis. He does show good positioning, decent timing and interesting coordination, but we’ll still need to see some more meat before calling him a serious prospect.

L’Hospitalet 2008: It’s a Big World
January 16, 2008
After the likes of Vitor Faverani and Paulao Prestes, Unicaja continues exploring the Brazilian market with Augusto Lima. Still not very skilled, Lima displays very interesting characteristics. He’s a very athletic player, quick and reactive, also very coordinated, who stays pretty active throughout games. Although a bit skinny, his frame looks very promising enough to add weight, also showing a good wingspan.
Right now, Lima is basically an on-ball player, but he does a nice job moving without the ball to look for opportunities near the basket. Probably the most intriguing part about his scoring game is his excellent touch around the basket with his right hand. He can also connect on some mid-range jumpers with promising consistency. On the other hand, besides his right-handed jumphook, he still doesn’t have any real post-up game, but his coordination, promising frame and effectiveness around the basket is an excellent building block for a productive low post package.
Although we never saw Lima attacking his rival off the dribble, he did put the ball on the floor a few times when completely open, suggesting a moderate optimism about his ability to develop some ball-handling skills. A decent passer, especially from the low post, he seems to enjoy a solid basketball IQ.
Everything in his game speaks promise and potential. He’s a very limited guy now, but with the tools to develop into a serious player. We’ll keep an eye on him.
