But what about Noel will make him better than Tyson Chandler? This needs to be talked about.


He's shorter, and will at most be 10-20 lbs lighter. Tyson has a wide body. He's 240. Noel might max out at 225. I don't see how he rebounds over 10 a game with that frame in the NBA. This aint the weak ass SEC anymore. He's gonna get pushed around for at least 3 years.

Banking on him being better than an All Star/Olympian/World Champion, who btw went #2 and was considered a can't miss prospect in his own right? Nah, I'm good.

I agree he's better than AD as a shot blocker. So is Larry Sanders (who Noel really projects to be IMO). But post D is a lot more than that, and size matters. I see him a valuable role player, not a star or an All Star, UNLESS he develops a real offensive game.


I mean, is Larry Sanders better than Tyson too?
