David Noel spent most of last season on the perimeter but will be in the post more frequently this year. That's not a new place for him, as he had to play in the paint for the majority of his freshman year. After a difficult start to his career, he emerged over the second half of that season and played a key role for that very young team. He'll try to mimic that production as the veteran on another very young team. (Tar Heel Blue)
