Noel strokin' le trey ball.

midranger · Post #1 » by **midranger** » Wed Feb 13, 2008 12:53 am

He's shooting 45.7% on 35 total attempts, making 3-4 threes in a few games.

To me, this is exciting. I don't put much stock into DLeague numbers, but shooting translates to any level. If he could continue at even a 40% clip for the year, while moderately improving other aspects of the rest of his game, he'd be well worth keeping.

Noel's role would to become a disruptive defensive player who creates steals and gets out on the break. In the halfcourt he could stand in the corners and stroke 3's on kickouts. Think Bruce Bowen.

Hopefully he continues to evolve a bit. I'm not ready to give up on him quite yet.

A Desmond Mason type with shooting range out to the three.
I liked David Noel since drafting him back in 06, the kid looks promising.

bench Bobby Simmons and call Noel up from the d league. I bet Noel plays better than that bum.

I'm not ready to give up on him yet either. He hasn't had a chance to do show anything this year. I think he's gonna turn out to be a decent NBA player.

Smart guys with legit size and athleticism who can stroke the long ball typically can carve a niche in the league.

On a side note, Ersan has started to pick it up a bit now too as far as I can tell.

Is it just me or does he resemble QB Vince Young of the Titans.

he is averaging 19/5/4 in 7 games....I know anyone can dominate there but this is the only positive thing right now for the Bucks....

now that ramon sessions is gone Noel is the teams leading scorer.

Noel has to work his ass off to get back into the NBA. I can all but gurantee that the Bucks wont bring him back next year. The only thing I may see happening is a team with some injuries signs him to a 10 day contract and he earns his way back into the league that way. Scrubs put up big numbers in the D-League all the time...it rarely carries over to the NBA if they are lucky enough to get a chance or another chance.

you talk as if he had a real chance to prove himself.

Noel might get some minutes this year if there's a trade. I kind of hope he does. Always liked his passing and defensive potential.

He did have a real chance to prove himself, but he wasn't ready for it. That doesn't mean he might not be ready for it this year or next year.

Last season he had enough of an opportunity to show something and he showed nothing. We drafted him because of his athleticism but I have not seen any of it. The only time I have ever seen it from him is on highlight videos from his college days and he was not even that great of a college player to begin with.

Shooting typically carries over to any league. If you can hit a 25 foot open jumper in the D-League there is no reason you can't hit a 25 foot open jumper in the NBA.

Thats atleast a good sign he has improved his shooting. I guess we can finally afford to move Simmons now. :pray:

Once again we are debating whether a scrub will help our team. Same with Royal Ivey. At best Noel will have a few good games in his NBA career. He will never be a difference maker. The fact that there is even a discussion about him just shows how bad of a team we are.

Magic 32 · Post #17 » by **Magic 32** » Wed Feb 13, 2008 2:44 am

Noel hasnt done anything at all to prove himself. So he gets mins in the D-league and people think we should call him up for what?

The only thing I miss is his dancing on the bench and when he screws with teammates!

We already have that "Bruce Bowen" player on our team in Charlie Bell. The problem is that we dont have the rest of the spurs to play defense along with him. Ur teams defense is only as good as the worst player on the floors defense. Basically Bruce Bowen couldnt help us right now himself.
Noel does have a little more size but we really dont need him right now unless Bobby gets hurt.{NOT knocking on wood}, or a trade.
Charlie can knock down that corner 3 but we dont have anybody penetrating and drawing in the defense then kicking it out there so it really doesnt matter if we had Kapono or Korver shooting threes on this team.
As far as the fast break goes, Bell is one of the best fastbreakers on the team.
Basically we dont need Noel at this time, but i am not ready to give up on him, I love home grown players

it's hard to prove yourself when you are on a crappy team and playing with crappy players all the time....when Diaw was in Atlanta everyone thought he was crap but he went to a great team with great players around him and he did well...I am not comparing him to Diaw but if your going to judge a player on one season when no one looked good then thats just not fair at all...geesh :roll:
