Premium Member Diesel Posted June 26, 2013 Premium Member Report Share Posted June 26, 2013 Orlando has been doing a great deal of work on players in late lottery-mid 1st round range, weighing possible deals out of No. 2 spot. What I have read on this leads me to believe that Orlando has several trades in mind and they will try to play the guessing game on Noel. It is believe that if Len is picked first and Noel drops, he's dropping out of the top 10. Also, they want Shane Larkin and believe that they can get him around 14. So they might make a deal with Utah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex Posted June 26, 2013 Report Share Posted June 26, 2013 So what would Utah give up in order to move to number 2? Certainly 14 and 21 isn't doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether people agree with you or not, you are quick to report potential Hawks news. As soon as something breaks somewhere we know you will be on it! Draftwise, I do hope we move up. I live up in MI so I hope we get Burke too. I also would be thrilled with Oladipo. Even if we don't move up (or trade the picks) it's going to be exciting having two picks in the early part of the non-lottery teams.

Admin Posted June 26, 2013 Report Share Posted June 26, 2013 Lol Noel is dropping out of the top 5, let alone 10. I doubt this is a trade with Atlanta but I guess it's possible.Whether people agree with you or not, you are quick to report potential Hawks news.

Premium Member Diesel Posted June 26, 2013 Premium Member Report Share Posted June 26, 2013 Lol Noel is dropping out of the top 5, let alone 10. Not exactly sure what you were trying to say, but I will put this up for you. Everett’s Nerlens Noel was thought to be the top pick about a month ago. He’s a physically gifted center who can run the floor and could emerge as a defensive stopper. But as Noel has been evaluated, some have characterized his offensive skills as primitive, his conditioning has been questioned (he was 206 pounds at the draft combine), and his stock has dropped, according to NBA sources.In fact, in the past several days, a handful of prospects have risen and fallen in the eyes of lottery teams, who understand that this draft could be a minefield. The consensus at the combine last month in Chicago was that this class lacks impact players and will have a group of busts, but also a handful of gems who will require time to develop. Personally, I don't think Noel has the fire. I also believe that when it comes down to it, teams will be more likely to take an underrated Zeller over a Overrated lazy Noel.

Premium Member Sothron Posted June 26, 2013 Premium Member Report Share Posted June 26, 2013 Noel needs to put on at least forty pounds of muscle if he's still at 206. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did I misunderstand you when you said he could slide out of the top 10? My counter was that he's not sliding out if the top 5, let alone the top 10.Noel needs to put on at least forty pounds of muscle if he's still at 206.Larry Sanders has gotten by pretty darn well at 221 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh I'm not suggesting that he's the ideal player, but he's still done pretty darn well for being the size he is. Noel is Theo Ratliff Good comparison!
