Well, that was quick. Dudes 7 ft 2, so at least he’s huge
Gotta keep trying to find a backup 5. DFS works in spurts or against certain matchups, but we need an actual backup center.
He’s a giant and he’s very athletic for his size but from what i’ve seen he lacks all of the fundamentals and doesn’t really excel at anything. I don’t see this lasting past the 10 day but i’d be happy to be proven wrong. I’m surprised Marks gave another attempt at signing a big
I checked the clippers sub when they waived him, and I don’t think they viewed him any better than how we see Sharpe. But we have nothing to lose, lets see how it pan out
Rip nerlens noel era
Now, we have four players on the roster born on Oct 13th.
Looks like he knows how how to roll and make himself available then looks to dunk. His length is also plus. He is not a good free throw shooter. For what we need, he may be okay but let’s see. He is young so maybe still time to improve.
Don’t know what to expect, no idea who he is. Looks like he’s already been on like 9 teams lol. But definitely optimistic about a new piece on the squad, let’s see how he do
Since nerlens didn’t work our, we have nothing to lose by trying out people on 10 days.
One positive. He’s from NYC.
I like Moses Brown. His Per 36 are off the charts: 19.7/17/1.7 blks.
WHO
Will Nerlens Noel get a tribute video ?
From nbadraftnet. Ben Parker 12/12/18
Strengths: 7’1 mobile center … Good length with a 7’3.5 wingspan and 9’3 standing reach … Good athleticism and runs the floor … Good shot blocker with good potential at the next level. Averaged 2.1 blocks per game over the Under Armour Association … Good rebounder and consistently boxes his man out. Finished third in rebounding over the Under Armour Association with 8.6 per game, with 2.7 coming on offense … Can put the ball on the floor in space or when given a straight-line drive … Flashes touch inside. Can finish layups with either hand while jumping off either foot. Finished third over the Under Armour Association shooting 53% from the floor. Shot 51.6% at adidas Nations … Draws numerous fouls. Shot 6.8 free throws per game over the Under Armour Association …
Hopefully he can rebound and catch the ball lol
Looking forward to the Ian Eagle calls:
“Holy Moses!”
“Moses parts the red sea!”
Etc
Love this signing. Low risk, 23 years old, 7 foot 2 and had a 21 & 23 game vs Boston 2 years ago. If we can get anything out of this kid it’s a win
Six teams before age 24 – now that’s an impressive stat.
Let’s gooooooooo. I know some of us wanted this guy, it’s rare when we get a role player that we want lol.
If my math is right, that’s means if he played all 48 minutes, he’d average 48 ppg and 48 rpg! Yeah, we just signed Wilt Chamberlain 2.0!
Actually signed a center, I’m surprised, but this guy has been passed around the league, hope he can be serviceable for us.
Watched him at UCLA. Don’t get your hopes up
Damm the Nerlens era is done it was filled with screens and stuff
A bit surprised nets gave up on Nerlens, he didn’t get much of a chance to play.
I had slight hopes for Noel but Knicks fans were right – that dude has horrible butter fingers
Can he guard the perimeter on switches?
