Augusto Lima is a Brazilian big man who moved over to Spain early in his teen years to begin playing professionally. He's been part of the Unicaja Malaga program for several years. After playing for lower-level clubs on loan, he spent last year with Malaga, albeit in a limited role.
Lima's size and defensive abilities make him of interest to NBA scouts. His offensive game is still rather raw, but he's only 21 years old. If drafted, Lima may need to spend another couple years in Europe to get more seasoning before coming over to America.
