Hawks draftee Nogueira scores 13 points in win

Hawks draftee Lucas Nogueira had 13 points, on 6 of 7 shooting, for Asefa Estudiantes Madrid in an 89-76 win over FIATC Joventud Sunday in the Spainish ACB League.

Nogueira also had two rebounds and four blocked shots in 19 minutes.

Here are some highlights of Nogueira, courtesy of David Vidal of ACB.com. Of particular note is Nogueira's play that begins with a block and ends with an alley-oop dunk.

Nogueira has played in 16 games this season for Estudiantes, including nine since returning from a two-month layoff due to knee tendinitis. For the season, Nogueira is averaging 6.8 points, 4.2 rebounds and 1.5 blocks.

The ACB League will conclude its regular season later this month. Hawks general manager Danny Ferry said last week he will make another trip to Spain to watch Nogueira play before the season ends.

Nogueira is scheduled to participate with the Hawks in the Las Vegas Summer League July 11-21.
