Kentucky BB Player Noel to Be First Pick in NBA Draft?

« on: May 15, 2013, 08:10:28 AM »

NBA owners & GM's never cease to amaze me. Noel had a serious ACL knee injury, something most sites I read say takes 2 years to fully recover. This sounds like Greg Ogden, the #1 pick in the draft in 2007 who had a history of injuries. He is now a free agent. Of course, the most notorious injury-prone selection was Sam Bowie, also from Kentucky, picked first in 1984.

Huh?

Greg Oden and Sam Bowie were legit # 1 picks even with the injury. When healthy they were by far the best players in college the year they game out. Noel is good and has a high ceiling but he has not developed to the point of being a top pick yet IMO.

I am not blaming Noel. He had no choice but to enter the NBA draft since he will be a lottery pick but he could use another year or two in college to prepare himself for the NBA.
