Nerlens blocks Bennett

[UK2K]

Anyone have the video?

AB tried to throw up a weak floater, which Nerlens then blocked out to the 3pt line.

Cavs FO :facepalm

[LoneyROY7]

Nerlens could be a great player. :applause:

[Smook A.]

Calling it right now... Nerlens Noel will someday be DPOY and will lead the league in bpg multiple times.

[lilteapot]

Wiggins blocked Nerlens

[Im so nba'd out]

our future is so bright :cry: thank your nerlens :bowdown:

[Meticode]

Anyone got video of Wiggins swatting Noels shit?

[Milbuck]

Healthy Embiid and Noel would be so sick..

[hawksdogsbraves]

Bennett with that 14/4 with 5 TO's on 5/12 shooting, somebody make a thread praising him quick! :bowdown:

He's not fat as **** anymore, what a hard worker! What mental fortitude to say no to Big Macs! Next KG!

Noel blocks Bennett
dayum

[sfballa13]

Imagine Cavs traded down last year and grabbed Noel and another solid player

Kyrie - Wiggins/Waiters - Bron - Thompson - Noel/Varejao

DAMN

OMG :facepalm :facepalm :facepalm

[miles berg]

Cavs should have taken him #1 last year.

They did.

Oh you were talking about Noel. :yaohappy:

^Wiggins block on Noel

holy shit :biggums:

[RedBlackAttack]

Wiggins blocked Nerlens
...and dunked on him.

I like Noel's potential and all, but this is what happens when you see one play and not an entire game.

[RedBlackAttack]

So this is your new schtick? It's downright odd how much you dislike this guy.

[FrobeShaw]

...and dunked on him.

AB was also having a field day on Philly. I like Noel's potential and all, but this is what happens when you see one play and not an entire game.

I like AB's potential, too. Not feeling Noel. Just think he'll be butt.

[Meticode]

Hardly say dunked on "him" Noel was the closest player near him and Noel took a swat at the ball, but Wiggins was too far past him.

[navy]

Noel will be better than Bennett.

[RedBlackAttack]

Erm, yeah... When a defensive player attempts to block a shot and the offensive player easily dunks anyway, that's generally considered being dunked upon. J/S

[LogicalFan]

Does anyone else get flashbacks of young KG with Noel? Moves so similarly to me and very instinctual.

No jumshot, but yeah. Noel is fast too.

[East_Stone_Ya]

AB travel

yeah a blatant travel imo

[Swaggin916]

That travel was pathetic... AB just doesn't have a good feel for the game. If he continues to improve on his mid range though he will be somewhat useful. Noel right now is losing the ball a lot trying to dribble... which he can do... but is just a bit sloppy. He has good touch around the rim though making me believe he will be at least a productive offensive player.

[RedBlackAttack]

Amazing what people will derive from one highlight. He had a couple plays where he was breaking down the defense from the top of the key and hitting guys in the corner for wide-open jumpers... as a PF. But, because he traveled on a play, he "doesn't have a good feel" and may only be "somewhat useful"?

Didn't he straight up crossover someone?

[DMAVS41]

Dude has looked great so far though...not just one play. He's looked fantastic.

[RedBlackAttack]

Didn't he straight up crossover someone?
Yes... he's done so at least one time in each of the last two games.


Dude has looked great so far though...not just one play. He's looked fantastic.

I think "fantastic" is a little overboard. Now, I've only seen him for a complete game in tonight's matchup, but he had some good moments and also disappeared for some long stretches.

Remember, I was Noel's biggest fan on here in the lead-up to the 2013 draft. He's the guy I wanted and no one else was even close. And, I like what I've seen so far in SL, although he looks even skinnier than I anticipated.

He's going to be good. I'm just saying, let's not go too crazy.

[RoundMoundOfReb]

Bennett would actually be a good fit next to LeBron as a stretch 4...biggest issue with him is his IQ right now..

I already wrote in another thread from Watching him Play AB potentially can develop into a Hybrid of Larry Johnson and Milsap. Can knock down Jumper can also take ball to the cup and finish. I am sure he will develop a post game. Will be a little undersized PF but has some nice upside. If cavs could somehow do a trade for love for Waiters and TT plus picks man would the Cavs have some nasty potential and be exciting to watch. Imagine a small ball lineup of Irving,Wiggins,Lebron,Bennet and Love.

[gyu]

That's what Anthony gets for traveling.

[Meticode]

OMG SOMEONE BLOCKED SOMEONE ELSE IN A SUMMER LEAGUE GAME? LET'S MAKE A ****ING THREAD ABOUT IT! HOLY SHIT THIS WILL BE REPLAYED YEARS FROM NOW!

[rhowen4]

Both guys have looked great. Damn this cavs team will be an intriguing watch.

Noel for ROY

[ImKobe]

Noel looks really good, when you watch the games he looks like a man among boys. He will probably lead the league in blocks at least once.

Wiggins will probably lead the league in steals, that kid has great hands on D.

[mugiwara]

Is that a travel!?!! people do that shit all the time and i never know why it isnt? your lifting your pivot foot and essentially taking another step.

[navy]

He's too heavy to successfully pivot, step through, and jump on that step threw foot without the other one touching the ground.

Although it wasnt that bad.:confusedshrug:

[TheMilkyBarKid]

Unlike some I will wait till the regular season to judge noel vs Bennett (although I do believe no

[UK2K]

Nerlens will be ROY.

The only knock on him was his weight, but the dude has bulked up in the past year. I read he was around 230?

While still light, thats much better than the 210 or whatever he came in at. He's only 19, give him another year or two to get into his body, and at 22 or so when he's pushing 245, he will be a beast on defense.

Please develop a low post game and become unstoppable.

I don't think it's overboard to say he's looked like that so far. He should have been the number 1 pick last year and every team that passed on him is going to regret it. The Pelicans, for example, are going to look back and realize they ****ed their franchise over hugely for that Holiday trade.

If he's healthy...and injuries are a concern for all players...not just Noel...he's going to be a great player in the NBA.

This is why when 76ers fans bitch about the moves they've made I just :facepalm .

They get the two best players in the last two drafts. Shed the Holiday contract that allowed them to get Noel, Saric, and a future first rounder. It was ideal.



I'm a bit confused about your stance though. I found a post recently with you talking about how Embid was the clear cut best player in the draft and that you liked Wiggins, but he has a really low floor. If you feel that way...why are you so against trading Wiggins for Love?

Here is your post:

Wiggins has a very high ceiling, but also a pretty low floor, imo. He's incredibly raw.

[Theoretic]

Is that a travel!?!!.

Nope.

[GOBB]

He's 223. And yes its better than 210, but he still gets pushed off the low block out 18 feet. Weighing 245 may never happen with his body type. Maybe when he gets older in his 30's, the weight will pack on. I dont care for a low post game. I hope he can just give me a solid 15 footer and I'm cool. ROY may be a stretch given how good this draft class is and how offensively challenge he will be next season vs stronger pros. We will see, he will be in the mix. Conditioning isnt up to NBA standards and who knows if he is a victim of foul trouble.

[Jailblazers7]

Rookie Tyson Chandler was like 220-225 lbs. If Noel has a similar body develop I think he will be totally fine. But yeah, Noel has been awesome. He has showed great talent as a help defender and he is seriously bothering guards with his reach. He is going to be a pain in the ass for teams who rely on the pick and roll.

But for real RBA, that is what passes for getting dunked on these days? :lol

He almost broke the steals record at UK before he got hurt.

He's got super quick hands.
