Looking Towards Vegas: Nerlens Noel
Posted Jul 20, 2011
I was blown away by the improved play of Nerlens Noel at the Peach Jam. The 2013 big man has always been considered an elite prospect, but he's really taken his game to a new level and might have put together the single most dominating defensive event I've seen in 11 years in the business. All of a sudden, he looks like a young Alonzo Mourning out there. The top of the 2012 rankings are loaded with post players. The four-star range has a bunch of good big men. And players such as Adam Woodbury, Joel James and Robert Upshaw have emerged here lately as high quality prospects.
