If not #1, how far will Noel fall?

Noel won’t get pass the #7 pick!

I doubt he gets past us at 4. We wouldn’t pass on that talent just because we have Biyombo, that would be ridiculous. Biz is good but we need big bodies and Noel would fit the bill of what we need in Charlotte.

He’ll be somewhere in top 5

I can’t see him slipping past Phoenix at 5, and it seems to be a good fit for him in the sense that there won’t be pressure for him to come back too soon with them in full rebuild mode and they have the premiere medical staff in the league. That being said as a Suns fan I don’t want Noel, his hands and shooting touch are big red flags for me.

I don’t see Noel getting past Washington at 3. Perhaps Washington would select him in order to deal him sort of idea

Washington would seem a logical place for him as they have Okafor out of contract next summer so he could develop there and then be part of maybe a 3 man big rotation along with Seraphin supporting Nene.

Plus they have scorers on the team in Wall, Beal etc and Nene is a decent scoring big so they can allow Noel to develop mainly as a defensive player without worrying too much on offence whilst a team like Charlotte needs frontcourt offence.

As a Phoenix fan I’d echo what Chilbert said, our medical staff may be good for him but I don’t think he’d be a great pick for us.

In the News section of the home page here there is a Q and A article with Noel. When he was asked who he visited, he said

“Cleveland, Washington, Orlando (top three picks). I’m not going to Charlotte (No. 4 pick).”

He could fall far, but DC seems the most likely. He actually would be a better center running with Wall than Kyrie is the long run. The big problem is that other team doctors won’t get an up close view till after they pick him.

I don’t see him dropping past Orlando. In a rebuild you need assets, and while he may not be a great one, Noel is definitely an asset that multiple teams will be looking at.
