Lucas Nogueira is retiring from basketball, according to a post on his Instagram.
The Celtics initially drafted the rights to the 7-footer with the No. 16 pick in 2013 (one pick after reigning two-time MVP
Giannis Antetokounmpo), packaging him in a draft-night deal with the Hawks. During the summer of 2014, with Nogueira still overseas, the Hawks sent his draft rights to the Raptors in a package that also included sharpshooting off-guard
Nogueira played 141 games for the Raptors between 2014-18. Toronto decline to tender the big man an extension offer for the 2018/19 season, making him an unrestricted free agent in the summer of 2018. He opted to return overseas, playing for clubs in Spain and Bahrain. Nogueira posted career NBA averages of 3.2 PPG, 2.8 RPG, and 1.0 BPG in 12.4 MPG.
The Raptors defence has been its cornerstone for years, and was second best in the league last season. But Saturday s effort was spotty, and Lowry was asked how close his team s defence is to where it wants and needs to be. Nowhere near it, Lowry said. We’re nowhere near where we want to be defensively. But it takes hard work, it takes dedication of watching film, understanding who we’re playing against and making adjustments on the fly. I think we’ll watch some film (Sunday) and the next day and see what we did bad and what we did good and try to build off the good end of things rather than dwell on the bad things.
