re: Anyone else think that Hinkie may run the risk of devaluing his biggest assets?

Noel almost had a triple double (pts, rebs, & blocks) last night along with 4 or 5 steals. I think he has a bright future as defensive stopper, but needs to develop other parts of his game massively.

noel has not lived up to his hype. this is his 3rd year out of HS and this is when you start to typically see a player's arc form

his offense has not come around at all yet and he doesn't look like he's a rim protector-rebounder just yet

he's obviously the odd man out if okafor is picked, which means the 76ers get...what for him? likely another mid-first round pick that may become a lotto pick in 3-5 years? so what was the point?
