Actually if you ask me which Center I want for my perfect championship caliber team, I will chose Asik hands down

That makes no sense considering that he had a better rookie year. I don't know how they could say that he improved this past year.
I expect him to improve this year because we know that he is a 5, and he will have better players around him.

* Nerlens Noel returned from a trip to Haiti earlier this week. He is in Philadelphia and has begun working out with strength and conditioning coach Todd Wright in preparation for the season.

Well, he is NOT on the picture to advertise the tickets sale:
http://www.nba.com/sixers/2016-17-group-tix-sale-now
and, as we know, he is NOT in the gym to practice with: Simmons, Sergio, Embiid, Okafor, Grant, Hollis, Nick, Bayless, etc. etc..
And of course no sign of an extention.
At this point, I think his days in Philly are really numbered and Nerlens is definetly the odd man out.

But for Noel, I honestly think he got offended when he didn't get a contract extension. I'd assume his agent would be trying to get a contract done before he gets overshadowed by Simmons/Biid.

Who has been extended from that draft class? When were they eligible?

Noel is ahead of Biyombo, but behind Cappella. Interesting. No Okafor on the list. Maybe next year though. Brook Lopez, Greg Monroe, and Vucevic made it, so that's a good sign for him

That overrated player that is the starting SG for the Blazers.

You think McCollum is overpaid? He's a top 5 sg in the league...

I hope he improves his shooting. I don't see much improvement with his physique but I'm not that concerned with that for his edge over others is his elite athleticism.
