[QUOTE=el gringos]The crazy part is one of them wouldn't even start- Norman Powell is the next UCLA lottery pick pg, Lamb is so much closer to the other two Lambs than ish thinks and having 2 wear brothers in addition to Josh Smith and Stover- with or prob even without shabazz we are talking about the most talented ncaa team next year. [B]8 nba players on 1 team?[/B] Back to how it should be


This year was an all time un explainable fluke, next year UCLa is back[/QUOTE]
:lol

Extreme over-exaggeration.

We'll find out where Bazz goes soon.

[QUOTE=IGOTGAME]Noel can't catch. Don't get the hype.[/QUOTE]

He's a dominant shot blocker who changes the game on par with Anthony Davis and other great C's in the past. He didn't have a good week based upon reports as he had just flew in there and he was tired and dealing with some minor injuries. He's going to be absolutely scary in college. Whichever team he goes to(Kentucky, Syracuse, or G'Town) will be a Final Four team.

The "hype" as far as the NBA is concerned comes from his upside when he puts more weight on his frame and develops a more refined low post game.

He's the type of kid who should go to a program like Georgetown and stay 3-4 years and turn into a dominant C who can make an immediate impact in the NBA when ready. But, unfortunately those days are long gone.

Staying to college to somehow "refine your game" is such a joke. If you want to truly progress, you go to the NBA where the best of the best are. As simple as that.

I'm appaled to this "the more you stay in college, the better you will be". Yeah right, guarding and scoring on college players as opposed to NBA calibre players.

Then it was just not meant to be.

Different cases for different players.

Not all players need the same development in the college ranks.

Nerlens Noel, like Thabeet(sorry for the negative comparison), needs to spend several years in college to develop a better offensive skill set to go along with his shot blocking/post presence. As a 1 dimensional big man he needs to refine his offensive game for the NBA or else he wont reach his full potential. If Nerlens is a 1 & Done, he'll be coming into the league where he can contribute with blocking shots but doesn't have anything to give on offense nor a body ready for the NBA grind.

entire game is available on youtube [URL="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pmmK7FU43U8&feature=youtu.be"]here[/URL].

I don't see it. Nerlens, from what I've seen, has a better Ogame than Davis. Better fundations at least. If Davis can go in the league this year, so will Nerlens.

Hilarious as ****. The boy was hurt as ****. There was a reason as to why he didn't even start. He still went 2-2, grabbed 4 rebound, 3 ast, 4 STL and 4 Blck.

It's impressive as ****.

Noel copying off B.Jennings! Get out of here with the box.

Thanks for posting link to game. Gonna watch.

[QUOTE=Punpun]Hilarious as ****. The boy was hurt as ****. There was a reason as to why he didn't even start.[/QUOTE]
I'm only judging based on the limited amount I saw. Not impressed, there are a lot better prospects in the class below. If he didn't reclassify he would be in the shadow of Parker, a much better prospect. Maybe even Wiggins if he reclassified.

Don't speak if you know nothing about him. There is a reason why he is the #1 HS player in America. Even with his limited playing time and injury, he still was flawless in his FG attempt, grabbed 4 rbound, 4 STL, 4 BLK. And 3 ast. Think again.

There is no one in this class better than him. Nor in the class below.

Actually I have read and watched as much footage as I could about him. Even made a thread about him a year ago. Guy doesn't seem to be some can't miss prospect, Definately not like Russell. Guy lacks defensive bball iq and has bad hands. He should be an nba player but im not seeing 8 time all star type of guy.

Jabari Parker is better than him. Shabazz, who I'm not as high on as most, is better than him. Wiggins is a much more interesting project.

[QUOTE=Rowe]He's currently in the Class of 2014 but he is almost guaranteed to re-classify to 2013 and challenge Jabari Parker for the #1 spot.

He also wants to get into the Class of 2013 so he can team up with his older brother, who is a Juco transfer in 2012. His brother is being recruited by Oregon, Villanova, Wichita St., Pittsburgh, Oregon State and Baylor. They'll be able to team up for 1 season in 2013-2014 as he'll be a Senior and Andrew will be a Freshman.[/QUOTE]

Isnt Jabari Parker on the 2014 class?

[QUOTE=IGOTGAME]Guy doesn't seem to be some can't miss prospect, [/QUOTE]

Wow, can you spread more lies ? He is seen as at least a prospect a sbig as Davis. My god it's pretty hilarious now.

Jabari's in the 2013 class.

Nerlens Noel has a better foundation for an offensive game because he actually plays in the post. The problem is he can't do much else but catch and dunk, but he still needs to work on doing more down low. He needs a lot of work to be a C, well a dominant one on the next level. He is a "Cant Miss" prospect.

The difference with Anthony Davis is that hes a 4 and although he doesn't have much of a post game, but has perimeter skills. Davis will come into the NBA as a Face up 4 man due to his lack of weight and he'll struggle like most players like him(KG, Bosh, etc) as he develops to become a "scorer".

There is far more importance and emphasis on Nerlens Noel to develop a post game because he wont be playing outside of the paint like Davis will be.

Noel was measured at 6'11.25" in shoes ( 6'10" without shoes) with a 7'4" wingspan.

According to the Hoya's forum he weighed at 217 lbs. This kid needs hit the weight room if he's playing the number 5 position in the NBA.

He's been the same weight for nearly 3 years now.:lol

Im waiting to find out that his prep school doesn't have a weight room and is starving him.

alright guy, how about forming your own opinions.

Forming your opinion is a pretty stupid thing to do when it led to the stupidity you spout. Plus Having diff opinion =/= having your own valid opinion.

ok. Keep spewing out force feed garbarge you hear from so called experts. I don't think this guy is can't miss. But hey, I bet you thought Marvin Williams, Kwame Brown and Eddy Curry were can't miss.

You're the kind of guy who would have spit on Kobe's face 16 years ago. Alas you didn't. Because you're a bandwagoner.

that doesn't even make sense.

I repeat. You're the kind of guy who would have spat on Kobe 16 years ago. YOu didn't tho as you began following the Lakers during their championship run. Like the bandwagoner you are.

when did I begin following the Lakers? I been a laker since before this board or the ez board existed. If your referring to my join date, I was on the previous board since 03 or 04.

I don't see your reasoning...are you comparing Noel to Kobe. Are you insinuating that I don't follow high school talent....you not being very clear

I made myself pretty clear.
