this is what folks are not realizing. couple that with his ability/skills facing the rim. good lord! a real twin towers.

I won't disagree. Noel would scare the hell out of me as a first overall pick.

I agree. I wouldn't mind Len at all. I think that he has great potential and could be an upgrade.

I think Len could be a steal. A lot of people are down on him for some reason, but he was a virtual unknown until bursting onto the scene at MD last year.

He's only 19. He's a LEGIT 7 footer with great athleticism and post moves for his size. Plus he plays with that Euro style and can shoot a very decent jumper. I think once he fills out, he'd be a great fit next to AD. I'd take McLemore, Burke, Porter, & Bazz over him, but after that... I wouldn't mind taking him or McCollum at 5 should be stand pat. Much safer than Goubert or Saric in my opinion. (I know his isn't a full EURO player, but it seems that most nay sayers harp on those aspects of his game.)

Here's the deal. This draft is the crapshoot of all crapshoots. If we end up with Len, I think it gives some options in terms of Lopez, etc.




Sorry, I can barely type at this point.

i just cant take this shite anymore! i dont like otto porter. this dude is overrated. he's out of my besty circle. leslie is way more athletic/energetic and would kick porter's arse.

Maybe 2" but ok. Im talking about the Syracuse version of warrick. Both could jump like hell, dunk and block shots. You seperate them from there.

Noel kind of reminds me of Larry Sanders.

Also I have come around on taking Len at 5. I've never really paid attention to him when watching Maryland play, but i like the reports I've read on him lately.

Unfortunately, I'm expecting there to be "Kenny Vaccaro" reaction no matter who the Pelicans select.

Noel reminds me of jermaine o Neal

Might take a few years to develop but hopefully he's still on your team at that point.

I like Len too tho.
