Yea im looking for a 4-5 pair that were both on the thinner side.

Everyone says it can't work but I think when you have both guys with such elite shot blocking ability it would cover up the weight deficiency.

People always say we need a banger next to AD but then they knock Noel cause he isn't strong offensively. It's just contradictory. Why does he need to be an offensive force? Can't he just rebound & defend? Clean up offensive glass? Keep possessions alive. Run the floor, catch oops. He doesn't need to be Shaq

This is about the 7th time I've agreed with LE.

Agreed, Lester. Having two skinny guys in the post isn't ideal. I think the risk of taking Noel is worth it at 6. If both of these guys come close to reaching their potential, then that is a GREAT front court. Noel reaching his potential, is a great shot blocker/rebounder, and should be able to finish around the rim ala Tyson Chandler.
