As the community draft board nears its completion, the readers have spoken and opted to let two opposing big men, Nic Claxton and Bruno Fernando, take the 28/29 spots. Both represent intriguing prospects, so let’s look at each individually.
Fernando is a freak athletically, boasting a body that looks NBA ready to roll to the rim and slam on guys. Coming in at 6’10” with a wingspan over 7’3”, he has plenty of length to go with whatever slight height deficiencies he may have playing center at the next level. He has a soft touch around the rim, able to nab lob passes and entry passes alike and convert at a high clip.
