I think Noel turns into a Dwight Howard type player (not saying he will be that good) who dunks, blocks and rebounds with no real offensive presence.
IMHO
That being said, I don't think that's a bad type of player to pair with Anthony Davis who is an offensive threat.
This is the craziest draft I can ever remember. Have we ever not known who the first five picks were going to be before?

I have a very strong suspicion that neither Noel nor Shabaaz will make much of a splash in the NBA long term . Could be wrong, but I really feel that way.

Howard was 35 lbs heavier and a year younger entering the draft. He is a big body down low that defends the post beyond blocking shots. At 205 lbs, Noel has a long way to go before being anything close to Dwight on defense.
Dwight also has solid post moves. No, he doesn't flash a midrange game, but he has several solid spin moves and can use one dribble to get around big bodied defenders, which makes him a major mismatch at center. Maybe Noel can develop that kind of footwork, but to say Howard has no offensive skills is not right. The guy scores 18 ppg for his career (12 as a rookie).
