David Noel eyes his future

Posted Jun 27, 2005

David Noel knows he could be called upon to play anything from wing to center next season. So he's been working on his dribbling -- just in case he needs to bring the ball up the court. And he has been working on his jump shot -- because he knows he needs to score more. "They need me to be Jackie Manuel and Rashad McCants," Noel said. "Next year, we'll just call it the 'Rashad Manuel' role." (Raleigh News & Observer)
