according to BBRef and Wiki he's 228 lbs

He was 225 lbs before his ACL injury in college, then was recorded to be down at 206 lbs during his pre-draft measurements. From there he probably bulked up to his current weight.

I always love guys who possess rare athleticism and length, which both guys have. But Giannis playing the 3 makes him really unique and he has big physical advantages over other 3s. He's the type of guy who can break out at any time. He just needs to learn how to let his natural talents shine through.

I also love Noel's talents but he seems to lack something mentally and that might limit his ceiling if he's not completely serious about maxing out his potential.

The guy is very skinny. I say he's around 225-230. He has a KG type build. Tall, long and skinny but very athletic.

You sure he wasn't just 'listed' 225? I really doubt he was ever fat a day in his life, and no way he lost 20lbs muscle before the draft, that's a lot of weight fluctuation for someone with such a lean physique. I'm much more inclined to believe the 206 figure, and that he's only (very slowly) been crawling upwards since then. I'm not even convinced he's his listed 228 yet.

He probably was listed as 225 lbs to major outlets. DraftExpress has a measurement of him being 216 lbs the summer before his lone season in Kentucky.

So what’s the next step for Noel?

Simply put, adding muscle. The 20-year-old said on Wednesday that he’s actually been able to gain weight this season, a rare feat for any player during the grueling NBA campaign, and is now up to 220 pounds. During the offseason, he’ll look to bulk up further, strengthening his lanky 6’11” frame and becoming more consistent on the low block. But even as he’s had to stretch the limitations of his understandably underdeveloped body and play 30 minutes a night from the jump, Noel has still been one of the most impactful defenders in the league.

Weight is so fickle. I'd believe Noel's weight being anywhere in the 225 lbs range.
