Which Big Man do you choose?

[GamecockSmitty4]

well whatcha think?

He was impressive. Offensively, I think he is slightly better than Noel. As far as rebounding and defense, no question that Noel is way ahead of him. I think Len has a lot of potential, but mostly as an offensive guy. The Brook Lopez comparisons are not far off.

However, when I look at Noel, I always see KG. I know that is a pretty hefty projection on him, but that, IMO, is truly his ceiling. His intelligence level on both ends is very high. He can make great passes on offense and knows when to go up with the ball strong. On defense, his instincts are tremendous. He seems to always be in the right place for the rebound and can block shots with the best of them. His length combined with his jumping ability and instincts combine for him to be a force down low. He definitely needs to put some meat on his bones and needs to work on some offensive moves (he did show a nice little running hook to his left that didn't drop but looked good, however). I think Noel's ceiling is very high.

I will say this, Len is the better rebounder and it's not even close.

[Captain Morgan]

choices, choices.

I'm not expecting the complete package out of anyone in this draft, but I'd like to feel

comfortable that whoever we take can at least do one thing well already, either rebound, defense or scoring.

Preferably rebounding.

Len made me smile last night.. i ultimately will be happy with either- Len or Noel

would not be happy with Zeller

and the Mclemore/Shabazz choice is nice, but we will continue to ignore the 3,000 lb elephant in the room if we do go for the "scorer"

[GamecockSmitty4]

I will say this, Len is the better rebounder and it's not even close.

We will have to agree to disagree.

I'm guessing everyone that wants Noel didn't see what Len did to Noel...

Kinda like how Cody Zeller outplayed Anthony Davis in the tourney last year?

[Captain Morgan]

yeah, I didn't see the game, but I heard he was winner of the battles with both Wildcat big men.

Sure...

But Len absolutely dominated Cauley-Stein and Noel.

[Carl Spackler]

Give him a Charlotte Hornets jersey too

We'll let's hope that McLemore and Shabazz's stocks sky rocket by draft day so we'll have the honor of debating which big man we should take (Noel/Zeller/Len).

If not, we'll grab Shabazz or McLemore.

[GamecockSmitty4]

I did see the Len vs Noel game. However, you also have to remember that Noel was at a disadvantage. He was a freshman on a team of freshmen playing in their first game together. Len is in his second year on a more experienced team. That game itself is what put Len on the map for most people (myself included). Watching them progress through the season, Noel seems to have developed a good amount so far.

[Keith Moons Liver]

Definitely Len or Noel. I like Zeller and think he will be a solid NBA player, but we are a team that needs a home run. I think Len is the best combination of current ability and potential for future growth.
