David Noel’s leadership to steer UNC
Posted Sep 2, 2005
David Noel spent the second half of the summer in Oakland, Calif. with sophomore Quentin Thomas. The pair worked out together, with Noel pushing the point guard to improve his play to fill the sneakers of the departed Raymond Felton. "Dave talks to me all the time just telling me what he expects from me this season,” Thomas said.
