Noel in D-League

Wondering what your plans are for Noel?

He's going crazy in the D-League a little bit:

Have you guys given up on him, or is there some long-term plan?

Easy to dominate against guys that are worse than you.

Easier said than done to be better than a bunch of grown professional basketball players.

I think Noel has a future in this league and on this team.

He's shooting 49% on 74 NBA length 3's in the D-League. That is amazing. If he can shoot even 40% in the NBA while concentrating on defense, getting out on the break, and making smart passes, he'd be the perfect SF for this team. Basically, he'd be what we wanted Bobby Simmons to be.

Hopefully we can get him to ink like a 3 year, 5-6 million dollar deal. I think by year 2, it'd be a very good value.

So noel dominates the d league and he is still crap, but sessions is amazing when he does the same thing? I love how hypocrisy creeps through this forum.

We're going to blow the team up and rebuild it around him.

Energee or the Bucks?

He had 37-9-5 and three blocks in a double overtime win against a team on an 8 game winning streak last night. 5-10 from deep.

The big concern I have with Noel is that his defence hasn't been that great. He hasn't even made that many great hustle plays for us when eh's gotten on the court.

I couldn't care less about his offense for the most part becasue this team desperately needs an athletic freak of a defender who can do the little things at SF. I was hoping eh could become that when we drafted him, but we haven't seen any indications since that he'll get close to that player.

according to here in realgm land he is the worse player to ever touch a basketball so we dont care much for him.

No according to some on realgm he's the worst player to ever touch a basketball. Big difference.

I never said Sessions was amazing, so I hope that wasn't directed at me. I don't put any stock into d-league numbers. I want to see him do it up here consistently before I peg him as any more than a bench fodder. There's a lot of guys in that dominated the d-league that did nothing in the NBA ever.
