he will get stronger. look at rondo when he came into the NBA and look at his arms now. give him 3 years in the NBA and he will be strong and his ACL will be fine. he will be great if he develops an inside and mid range game, which is easier to teach than his blocking ability. Noel will be great in a few.

[Lee Tat Heng]

He needs to grow some muscle, if he has the frame of Tyson Chandler or D12 he will be fantastic.

A torn ACL is much more serious than Kyrie's toe injury. Way to stay positive though.

[Dontrel Trigg]

well doesnt really affec him we have seen what he can do remember kyrie irving he went out with an injury

I think Otto Porter would be a great pick for Cleveland but maybe hold off on getting Otto cause you can get a sf like Dario Saric, Giannas or even a Rudy Gobert with that 17th pick, instead get Noel, or a shooting guard like McLemore or Kentavious Caldwell-Pope..... the Cavs can afford to gamble on Noel cause they got 2 picks, the Bobcats dont, I am not sure I would take my only1st round pick knowing he had a torn acl

PG seems more important imo but you cant really pass up Noel.

[jonathan mckown]

but the bobcats will take him i think but im from cleveland and i said the same thing but if he isnt up there otto porter(yea i no this is about noel just saying)

[ufcismma]

finally someone that understands me, what is Chandler- he is a defender that rebounds and catched lobs, thats it, Noel has way more upside and is already a better player... the gamble is who wants to roll the dice and take a guy coming off a acl injury, A team like the Cavs that have 3 1st round picks should take him

This is true about Chandler. He didn't become productive until he played with Chris Paul.

I think the kid has more offensive talent then he displayed at Kentucky. He is young and can learn, but what is his actual upside? I don't want to say overrated b/c I don't think he is. I do think he is raw, but I can see him getting better and being one of the better Centers in the NBA in about 4 years.
