Jagsfreak27 44 Report post Posted May 17, 2013 Noel's frame is nothing like Dwight's. Howard was thin but he had broad shoulders and you could tell he was going to fill into a monster. Noel on the other hand is built like a #2 pencil Noel's weight would be the least of my worries regarding drafting him. The wise move is to have him sit 2013, get healthy and bulk up and come back ready to ball out in 2014, with whomever our other lottery pick is. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Magicman28 295 Report post Posted May 17, 2013 Nerlens Noel measurements: 6'10" in socks and 6'11.5" in shoes. 7' 3.75" wingspan and a very good 9-2 standing reach. KU's Ben McLemore was just 6'3.5" in socks and 6'4.75" in shoes. He does, however have a 6'7.75" wingspan. Trey Burke. 5'11.75" in socks. 6'1.25" shoes. 6'5.5" wingspan. Good measurement for him. Victor Oladipo was even smaller at 6'3.25" in socks and 6'4.25" in shoes. His wingspan was a very long 6'9.25" however. Otto Porter was big with a 6'7.5" in socks and 6' 8.5" in shoes measurement . He has a very big 7'1.5" wing. CJ McCollum 6'2.25" in socks. 6'3.25" shoes. 6'6.25" wing Shabazz Muhammad was much smaller Measuring 6'4.75" in socks and 6'6.25" in shoes He does have a 6'11" wingspan. Cody Zeller 6'10.75" in socks and 7'0.25" in shoes. His 6-10.75 wing and 8'10" standing reach is on the small side however. Rudy Gobert 7'0.5" in socks and 7'2" in shoes with a crazy 7'8.5" wingspan and insane 9'7" standing reach. Steven Adams. 6'10.75" socks. 7'0" shoes. 7'4.5" wing 9'1.5" standing reach. Gobert can almost grab the rim without jumping. Crazy. Good measurement for Burke. That'll raise his value. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bauncey Chillups 288 Report post Posted May 17, 2013 Fran Fraschilla was saying that multiple GMs are worried about Noel's weight. He's not going to be able to defend opposing centers (or even power forwards) on the ball at his current bulk. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jagsfreak27 44 Report post Posted May 17, 2013 Fran Fraschilla was saying that multiple GMs are worried about Noel's weight. He's not going to be able to defend opposing centers (or even power forwards) on the ball at his current bulk. He's not going to see the court at his current weight. He was 225 at UK and lost weight due to rehab. If he dedicates a year to recovery and putting on weight he can come in and immediately be a defensive stopper.

Soul Bro 1,422 Report post Posted May 17, 2013 Some thoughts after the measurements: Noel's weight scares the heck out of me So BMac is shorter than Beal? Ugghh Porter has great size. Better version of T. Prince? Burke's size is what we expected I really am beginning to think we'll move back if we get the first pick. I'm not certain the guy that goes 1 will be better than 5. McCollum anyone? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bauncey Chillups 288 Report post Posted May 17, 2013 6'1" and a 6'5.5" wingspan is better than what most people expected for Burke. He's taller and longer than CP3, Kemba and Mike Conley. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jaywdm 8 Report post Posted May 17, 2013 I now want us to draft Burke more than ever no matter what pick we have. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bhnole 153 Report post Posted May 17, 2013 Burke and Porter's measurables helped their stock Olidipo with a 6-9 reach is pretty impressive as well. Noels is reminding more and more of DeAndre Jordan....great leaper and shot blocker but can be whipped in the post by stronger players. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
