Nerlens in New Orleans. It was destined at birth.
Yeah, if Len is rising while Noel is dropping that actually could happen. I wonder if the problem is his knee or his weight. That weigh in made him go from the next Marcus Camby to the next John Henson.

It's a combination of things.
1. He now has a history of knee injuries. Freak or not, an injury is an injury, and they add up.
2. His weight. He always looked thin, but that was surprising. I actually think the knee is holding him back there a bit. I wouldn't think more weight would be helpful on a repaired knee. That said, I've heard that strength of the surrounding muscles pre-surgery plays a huge role in recovery. You're going to lose muscle, so you can't start with little to none....
3. He really lacks "skills" of a #1 overall. The guy is tall and rangy and has/had elite athleticism. Some of that will go away as he gains necessary weight, but will he develop enough of a skill set to make up for it and more?
