I'd say Noel, he's completely useless to me and our immediate future IMO.

Bennett

He's not an NBA SF and we have no room for another PF. With Noel at least you have a chance that he develops into a solid player at a position that we need help at

a lanky defensive minded center who needs to bulk up and lacks offensive potential... i don't think i could stomach another center prospect like this/

Noel has bust written all over him.

Yeah, Noel looks like a homeless man's AD23 to me.

You'd rather a guy who's not athletic enough to play the 3 but too small to play the 4?


I'm not sold on Noel either but he has much more potential than Bennett

Dude can ball. He can score, rebound, has an inside and outside game. seems like the nba is becoming less concerned about making sure square pegs fit in round holes. Dude can play ball, thats pretty much good for me.

Unless Bennett can play the 3 taking him would be just about the worst pick we can make

Why? Elite shot blockers and rebounders play a long time in this league. That's with zero offensive game

Dikembe Mutombo, Tyson Chandler, Dwight Howard, and Joakim Noah disagree with you.


Wait, no they don't.

I actually don't think we really need a high scoring 5. Most of our front court points will come from Davis and Anderson, so I'd rather a C that can defend and rebound, with less emphasis on offense. Essentially the opposite of Rolo

We need more scoring to come from the wing and the bench

were any of them 206lb 7footers at 19 years old? I mean I think Noel can possibly develop and be good but it ain't going to be in the next 3 years. 3 at the earliest.... can our franchise afford this time? They might be the Seattle Pelicans by then.

Most players in this draft will probably take 3 years to develop

Honest question for the next 2 years:

Who will have the least impact: Burke, Bennet, Noel, Mclemore, Len, Oladipo?

Probably Noel. But even Monty had said they're not looking for an immediate impact player in this draft. This year's draft pick will not make or break our rebuild

Not when they are in a suit most of their career because of knee injuries.

I really wish the draft would get here. Now I am wanting Bennett, the guy I wanted the less this whole time. I think he could be our Leonard, if he can improve his D.
