Noel almost had a triple double (pts, rebs, & blocks) last night along with 4 or 5 steals. I think he has a bright future as defensive stopper, but needs to develop other parts of his game massively.

I think missing on Wiggins and Parker set back their rebuild plan.

Yeah, he's a very good defensive player.

That's the risk you run with this, though. You put all your eggs into the draft and most years, the draft will frick you without even taking you to dinner first. The Thunder got lucky with their draft picks. It became sexy to make your team terrible and to get superstars in the draft, but it's really not realistic.

noel has not lived up to his hype. this is his 3rd year out of HS and this is when you start to typically see a player's arc form

his offense has not come around at all yet and he doesn't look like he's a rim protector-rebounder just yet

he's obviously the odd man out if okafor is picked, which means the 76ers get...what for him? likely another mid-first round pick that may become a lotto pick in 3-5 years? so what was the point?
