Luke Nevill not drafted
I guess there is no place anymore for a big dorky guy with no foot-speed.
Could you imagine Neville going against Nene? That would be scary. Neville might get killed. Well, he will land somewhere. Probably in Europe. |

the NBA is getting smarter. Players worse than Nevill used to go in the lottery. Remember Luc Longley, Big Country Reeves, Felton Spencer?

The NBA was extremely weak at the 5 position those years. There were maybe 3 or 4 good centers in the entire league during Longley's era. Who is to say Nevill will never play in the NBA? I don't think Longley was very good and I can't see Nevill being any worse if he were on a team that needed a center.

longley is better than nevill due to superior athleticism (i.e. defense).
No one is going to want Nevill for his defense. |
