    NBADraft.net has a Brazilian named Maybyner "Nene" Hilario going #6 to Cleveland!

    As his comparison, they have put none other than the Dream.

    He looks really athletic, but is only 6'9.

    He seems to have come out of nowhere like Gasol did last season. Although Gasol emerged later than Hilario has.

    He's not at 6 anymore. But maybe he's the answer to SF. I think he would be worth a shot at 15.

    He's listed as the second best international prospect, but isn't even listed in the mock.:confused:

    Well, at least there are some clear photos of him in action, unlike some other prospects.

    *Cough*Ming*Cough* :D

    While judging from photos is ridiculous, they certainly DO NOT make this guy's game look like Hakeem. From the photos he looks more like Vince Carter than Hakeem. But then it does say he has a good post game.

    Knowing absolutely nothing about him except the nbdraft.net profile, I'd be willing to take a flyer on him at #15 if its what Rockets mgmt thinks should be done. He could be the next Mirsad Turcan, but at 19, his game still has a lot of room for improvement.

    You can never judge on photos alone but he might be good. And I have to say that his build looks solid for a 19 year old. He might be worth a shot at pick #15 if Amare isn't there, because face it we need to start thinking of a new center because Cato is 27-28 and still not living up to his potential.http://www.nbadraft.net/profiles/largepics/nene3.jpg
