Nerlens Noel

NERLENS NOEL (SAC)

SALTY DOG

NBA ROLE: ATHLETIC, HYBRID 4/5

 

Nerlens Noel is a different vibe from most other bigs – absolute stat-sheet stuffer* – makes an honorable impact in nearly every category, especially blocks & steals; slight frame, though Noel does a nice job of help-side swatting and closing out on shooters; knows his role offensively – Nerlens isn’t a natural scorer but is nifty w/ his left hand, can finish roll catches over the top and is active on the o-boards; reliable backup capable of impacting the game in short stretches; signed w/ Kings (2023) – Nerlens slots in as an interchangeable frontcourt threat in Detroit
