Will he contribute in the league? Yes. Will he be a top 3 player on a contending team? Never. He may be a solid backup center, or a weak starting one.
Just cuz he played well against 6'8'' centers in college doesnt mean he has the skills to compete in this league with everyone else as tall as he is.
Andrew Bynum, Dwight Howard and Greg Oden will all be dominating Noah for the rest of his career.
Noah has played in two games this year when he gets at least 20 minutes of action.
At Denver: 16/8/3/1/1
At Orlando: 12/11/1/1/1
That was not even 48 minutes combined. True they were blowouts, but he still put up numbers in short time. The Bobcats game where he got 17-6 in 17 minutes was nice too. You give this guy 32 minutes a night, I bet he averages close to a double-double.

So should the 26 other teams give up as well? Who's not going to get dominated by them - and are they available with the 15-25 pick?
None of the guys you bolded will be able to guard those three either.

I'm not so sure about him being the next Mark Madsen, sorry pal.
I'd rather think his ceiling is a Tyson Chandler with some Vlade Divac passing game and soft hands (not as soft maybe as the inviting lips of John Paxson, but soft) and the leadership and energy of Kevin Garnett.
I'm not saying he'll be one of the top players of the game, not a 20-10 guy but he could turn into one of the best centers in the league if given the right environment.
I could see him being a leader, the heart & soul of a title contending team, although he'd have to have a superstar with him.
