Many tend to forget that Joakim Noah was born and raised in New York; he also played most of his high school basketball at Poly Prep in Brooklyn.
Could Noah be headed to the Brooklyn Nets?
The Nets already have Brook Lopez at center and Thaddeus Young at power-forward, so many may ask why the Nets would go for another big man. Noah is more than just a big man: he’s a vocal leader, passing threat, and defensive presence — exactly what the Nets need. After all, the Thunder have been proving small ball offense to be flawed: length may be the key factor.
