Nerlens Noel Falls to 6th!

[sports fan]

Wow.

2 Hoosiers drafted ahead of him cannot make the Big Blue Nation happy... but playing with Anthony Davis will.

I'm glad he didn't get drafted by four of the teams that passed on him. Would have loved him in Cleveland though.

[Jumper_Dad]

I said a while back that I'd love for him to end up New Orleans with Davis. I hope he doesn't get traded and they can build around those guys a little bit.

 

I agree except for Cleveland there wasn't a good situation for him that I saw with the other teams that passed on him.

 

Nerlens in New'rlens...perfect fit!!!

I dont see them keeping him no way in the NBA they can both play at the same time.

Just announced on ESPN that Noel looks to be traded to the 76ers.

Perhaps he should have stayed at UK?

Nope.

Sixers get MCW from the Cuse so looks like they are looking to rebuild. They will struggle this year but should be better as they get some experience.

I was pretty surprised that New Orleans took him, until he was then traded. Would have been fun to watch them play together, but probably wouldn't have been good for the Pelicans, except for their out of state merchandise sales.

Nerlens and MCW played AAU ball together.

I told the wife as soon as he was picked that he would be traded; not a lot of sense picking at #6 or whatever it was just to be AD's backup.

He's now a multi millionaire with a recovering knee.

[The Professor]

Does anyone know what the healing progress of his knee is at this stage. Some if the teams must have had some inside information that scared them away from him.

From all accounts his injury is progressing well. I think his weight hurt him as well. I do not see his frame and size as an issue like many do.

Noel was traded to the 76ers for Jrue Holiday and a 2014 1st round pick
