Moqui's view is a little different, but it's certainly not without merit.  NN could certainly affect DC2, from a minutes and position standpoint.
 
The posters here who say that NN would play the 4 are guessing.  They are trying to make it work and that's the best they can come up with, because they don't think DC2 works at the 4.  But there are serious problems with NN at the 4.  First and foremost would be his lack of scoring.  There would be the very real fear that NN could be Rak-like at the 4.
 
With NN, you would have another good 5.  That would go along with DC2, Rak, and BMK.  Even if you redshirt BMK, you still have 3 good centers.  You would have to move one over to the 4 for minutes. 
The best solution, in my eyes, is if DC2 could make the move.  If DC2 could provide an RJ like presence, some low post and a ton of rebounds, that would be a perfect compliment to a big NN defensive presence at the 5.  The problem is, moving to the 4 is a lot to ask out of a frosh DC2.  We just saw the problems trying to do that with Rak.  It took RJ a long time to make the transition too. 
 
 If DC2 can't make the transition to 4, the addition of NN would lose a lot of value.  A defensive nonscoring 4 is not that great of an addition.
