Norvel Pelle To Declare For NBA Draft

[RealGM Wiretap]

Norvel Pelle intends to declare for the 2013 NBA Draft, according to a source.

Pelle was the top-ranked center in the incoming college class of 2011.

Pelle previously committed to St. John's but wasn't cleared by the NCAA. Pelle committed to Iona in August.

Pelle is a seven-footer from California with a game that had been compared to Kevin Durant.

never heard of him, but looking at his youtube mixtapes, his game reminds me of terrence jones

This is actually a great under the radar guy... was a legend among California HS'. Think he projects more as a PF than a C, but he's worth a flier. Probably a 2nd rounder at this point, but so much talent, so much size...

Wait... A seven footer compared with KD a second rounder in this weak draft? BUST
