If he plays like this for a season then there will be no need to throw hands as i will be in aggreement with you
lets pump the brakes. noel is playing a style that would not scale to a bigger role. he's at 9+ fouls per 36 minutes. because he's just going out there and chasing everything without much regard for the consequences. he would not be able to stay on the court playing this way in a starting role.

“If you're getting stops and you're making threes and the other team's not scoring, that's when you're going to see a huge point difference there,” coach Billy Donovan said.

Even though he stepped out of bounds on that drive, I'm glad he didn't freeze and instead decided to attack the rim. That Lob pass though...Knrstz wrote:Get Ferguson’s locker room towel ready for him.

8-0 run. We're going to let a bottom three player, missing their best player, find a way to make this competitive in the 4th quarter.
We are not a playoff team.

He literally can't even get minutes on the Suns, and when he did he was by far their worst player. I'm not sure they pick up his option even.

Yeah it's very likely they will decline the option, but I think he'll get picked up by some other team. He's a 7-footer who can shoot threes and defend. And he's only 20. His issues are more mental than anything. I think he can become a solid player in this league.

He's shot 34% for 3 and hasn't been a good defender though. He may get a 2nd shot, but he hasn't shown either of those things, and now with a 2nd (sorta 3rd) coach not even playing him. I liked him early on, but that ship sailed.
Let alone them picking Len and Chriss, they've had like 6 years of high picks and 2 look like average or better NBA players.

Hopefully Paul George's halfcourt 3rd quarter buzzer beater against a bottom 3-5 team missing their best player won't be one of our most memorable highlights of the season.
Still, that was a nice shot.

I don't know, maybe I'm just biased. Ever since as a 16-year old he dominated a then 18-year old Sabonis he left an impression on me. Just hard to believe how the tables have turned.

Wow...Noel just took the ball from behind the 3P line, crossed up his man, and finished with a slam through contact. Hopefully his play tonight carries over because that'd be a much needed boost to our bench.

I liked him too, but after so long I can't keep thinking it. He's had a while tbh.

He seems very similar to grant but he doesn’t have that “I want to punch him in the face” characteristic.
