Nerlens Noel may not have lived up to the hype when he was healthy and the Wildcats certainly didn't live up to the hype, bu one thing is for sure, even with a torn ACL Noel is still the best prospect in college basketball. The 6-foot-10 freshman, led the nation with 4.4 blocks per game and averaged 10.5 points and 9.5 rebounds.
Noel also had 50 steals for Kentucky earning Southeastern Conference defensive player of the year honors, along with first team all-conference and freshman team selections.
Noel will obviously take some time to develop into the beast he can be, but he will definitely be a defensive presence in the association.
Otto Porter of Georgetown is also going pro. The 6'8 Porter averaged 16.2 points and 7.5 rebounds, both highs for Georgetown. I would love for the Celtics to get someone like him. He was born to be a great small forward in the NBA. He's long, athletic, can score at will and play great defense.
Smart move.
