Quick Nerlens Noel interview

Q. What do you think is the hardest challenge transitioning to the NBA? What do you think was the hardest challenge for you?

NERLENS NOEL: I definitely have to say the physicality. I'm a leaner guy. Just the speed of the game. The game moves so fast. Be able to slow your mind down in a lot of different ways. Let the game come to you.

Q. Does anyone help you try to do that best?

NERLENS NOEL: The assistant coaches. All of my coaches, really, they try to help me the best they possibly can to transition into the NBA. I think I've progressed in a lot of ways, mentally.
