    Default Sixers v. Hornets

    Didn't see a GT for this

    Just catching the second half of the 4th quarter, 3 minutes of game time and I've already seen Noel block the hell out of a shot, finish a PnR alley oop, and hit a Haslem-esque baseline kick-out jumper. Moving incredibly well on defense and engaged in every play even if he doesn't get a block or rebound.

    Color me pumped.

    How's Noel's offensive game coming along? Haven't been watching footage of him from SL onwards.

    If he can develop a consistent midrange J like Ibaka...a healthy Noel-Embiid duo will be filthy.

    Noel need to put in a lot and I mean a lot of work in his offensive game, but he has the physical tools to be a good if not great player in this league.

    I saw him shoot 2 jumpers, the aforementioned baseline J that went in cleanly and a contested elbow jumper that just rimmed out but looked good with nice release form. That Ibaka-esque 15-foot jumper, if he can get the hang of it, is exactly the thing that's going to unlock our future frontcourt's potential so him and Embiid can operate in separate areas freely

    Noel still needs to do a lot to have a consistent offensive game. Will be interesting to see how he pans out if he's running at power forward. Either way though he can change games on the defensive end, really wish he hadn't gotten injured though as he was one of my favourite players at kentucky
