Whenever I watch Noel he never has the impact on the game his stats suggest. I wouldn't be too thrilled with any of the top pf/c that look to be coming out this year with the exception of maybe Len, and that could be because I haven't seen Len play much(outside the beat down he laid on WCS and Noel).
My take on Noel is he is completely dependent on his length and athleticism. I think he gets steals because he gambles too much, and he gets blocks off sheer talent. Davis got blocks by playing good defense and then at the last possible second going up and blocking the shot, noel goes after EVERY shot. I can't count how many times he doesn't get the block and then his man gets the rebound because he's out of position.
Long and athletic but not much feel for the game IMO.
Bazz is no harden, Stackhouse is a good comparison he physically overpowers guys. He's a post up scorer, his best shot is that lefty one hand push shot it's not a jumper it's not a hook.
He's in better shape and his defense is improving but I thought he had 2 of his worst games against Utah and Colorado. Good player but if he were in next years draft he wouldn't be in the conversation top 5 IMO.
I've seen every UCLA game this year, Adams and Anderson impact the game more than Bazz does. Bazz is starting to play harder on defense, earlier in the year he was a complete no show on defense.
I think he'll go very high and I think he'll work hard to improve on offense, my whole question is who is he going to guard in the NBA?
