IDK about the ROY but he'll have a huge impact starting this season. He's such an unbelievable defensive prospect. I'll go with averages of around 12pts-8rbs-3blks-2stls w/ a ton of altered shots and disruption on defense.

He's definitely going to make some teams look bad for not selecting him and waiting for him to heal.

I'd say it's Jabari.

He's already got elite level size and skillset (top 5 to top 7 in terms of skillset). And just like in Duke, I'm sure the Bucks new ownership's goal is to put his talent at the spotlight and let the fans feel that this is the renaissance era of Bucks' basketball.

If he's too slow to play SF, they'll place him at PF. If he's too small to play PF, they'll place him at SF. If he's a defensive liability, they'll surround him with defensive players like Sanders and Giannis.

Yeah I still think Noel offense is still too raw to make an impact scoring wise. Can't wait for Embiid to heal and play against Noel in practice. Those guys will help improve each other and I hope some of Embiid offensive versatility will rub off on Noel.

I think nerlens could finish 2nd to jabari, or third to smart depending on what the celtics decide to do with rondo.

I agree. He is a fantastic fit between the 2 long defenders and also due to a likely high useage.

Not sure if Nerlens will ever win these type of media awards as wont put up the ppg which is so important for such awards.

I doubt he'll win ROY but he should finish in the top 5 in voting.

13 rebs is a little crazy.
10, 7, and 2 might be do-able.

Henry Sims averaged 12 points and 7 rebounds per game in 28 minutes last season.

I'm going to say Nerlens can at least match those averages per minute.

I'm going to guess he averages 13.5ppg 9rpg 2apg 2bpg 1.5spg 55%fg 65%ft 32mpg

*Edit: OK after thinking about it, some of the numbers are over-optimistic haha. But I'll leave it because I BELIEVE IN HIM

I think he's going to be good, but we should maybe lower the expectations a little. Centers are always a bit slow to develop and may struggle coming in to the league. Still though, he's a great talent and I think he'll have a very good rookie season.

I think he will have Andre Drummond type numbers (this past season's) with hopefully a higher free throw percentage.

Yeah, I think like 11/7/2.5 BPG would be really cool. He's still a really raw player.

You know what number I want to see above all else? 82 GP.

Noel had better rebounding numbers than Drummond in college, and with his athleticism he could be comparable in the NBA, especially because we don't have another good frontcourt rebounder along with him until Embiid is healthy.

I'll predict the following for Noel's rookie year:

11 PPG
11 RPG
3 BPG
2 APG
2 SPG
60% TS%

Top contender for rookie of the year, although Parker will have the advantage due to putting up big scoring numbers.

I'm thinking he'll score more than we expect, just because MCW/Thad/McDaniels/Grant aren't going to score that much lol
