Yeah, I'd be much more concerned with having 2 skinny guys than whether Noel will return to form after the ACL tear.

IIRC Jamal Crawford also tore his

Rubio looks pretty good in his return

and all reports out of Chicago are that Rose lost little to no explosiveness

Is it a concern? yes... Theres always going to be risk when you draft a guy that high with a past knee issue
but lets not act like his leg almost fell off, or he has no cartridge in his knees.

David West is a skilled big that does not rely at all on athleticism. Nerlens Noel is an unskilled big who relies almost solely on athleticism.
