Nerlens Noel wants a trade

[rimrocker]

Can't say I've seen a whole lot of him but what little I have seen I'm not all that impressed.
Does he have any offensive game whatsoever?

I havent seen anything that impressive from him, but I know there is a frequent poster who is high on Noel. NO WAY do I come off a 1st round pick. I would do a 2nd rd pick + Powell(which probably isnt enough). Im not ready to ship off Simba yet, but if it came down to him, Id have to let him go.

He shoots 70% from 3ft or closer. He shoots 30% or worse from anything beyond 3ft. Id rather not trade anything for him, Sign him as a FA flyer sure. Give up assets to get him? Hard pass from me.

I'm seriously not even giving up our high 2nd for Noel.

Yeah he seems like Powell with better rebounding but even less of a jumper. He has some primitive post moves, but mostly gets points on the dump-down and alley-oop. Then again this is only his third season in the league-- or would be if he had actually played.
