Nerlens Noel: Worth the Risk?

[1B4IGO]

With his knee being cleared the pick should with out a doubt be Noel. If you are basing the decision on pure talent, ceiling, and All Star potential it is Nerlens. Yes you wish you had more games to quantify, but the same could have been said about Kyrie.

Plus the hair, c'mon that gives him my vote.

I added a poll to the thread.

I posted this in another thread, but thought it was applicable here as well.

Apparently the magic will select Nerlens if we pass on him

The Orlando Magic are prepared to select Nerlens Noel with the second overall pick if the Cleveland Cavaliers pass on him at No. 1.

The Cavaliers are reportedly undecided on whether to select Noel.

"If the draft was held today, Noel would be our first choice," one source from the Magic told ESPN.

The Magic scouted Noel closely during the season and have been doing extensive background work on him over the past few months.

Also, not sure if anybody here is familiar with coach nick on youtube. I actually really like his videos and breakdowns. He went on record last night saying he prefers Nerlens to Anthony Davis.

Listen carefully: Nerlens Noel is better than Anthony Davis was coming out of college.

Noel is one of those athletes that doesn't come around very often. Provided he gains more weight, the sky is the limit

@codygard @KySportsRadio I'm looking at total package.Of course,AD has better shot mechanics,but man I'm impressed w/ what I've seen of Noel

Championships go to teams that force other teams to adjust their games. Noel's the only guy I see in this draft who likely will force other teams to change the way they play. I don't see anyone dominant enough at the offensive end to force significant defensive adjustments.

Isnt it funny that if we dont take Noel the Magic are going to pounce all over him,yet we still can't make a decision..Where are all those people who said if we dont take him no one will in the top 3 yaa I knew that shit wasn't true,everyones licking there chops hoping that Cleveland doesn't take him so they have a chance to..

 

[Anglefan]

Who said we can't make a decision? I completely disagree and posted earlier that I'm certain the decision has been made and that it's Noel.

 

[Gimme Some Mo]

I thought that interview was terrible. The interviewer sucked and Noel was acting like he hadn't slept in 4 days.

Noel definitely isn't shy about spending the money he hasn't even made yet. Said he bought a new Range Rover, he's got the blinged out chain, necklace, and fat earrings. Joe Haden Jr?

Well at least we know one person would cling onto everything Paul Pierce would say if we trade for him, him being a Celtics fan and all.

Anyone else distracted by that guy's untied shoe?

Hell, I've been undecided but give me Noel since his knee checked out ok. I like him as a player, I like his style, and he gives off vibes to me that he has the "it" factor... Just the way he carries himself.

Ever think the magic could be lying? They have all kinds of reasons to.

Ask yourself this question: What news would the Cavs leak to the press if Noel's knee was not OK?

Answer: The exact same news that they would leak if it was OK.
