Nerlens Noel is a great addition to the Mavericks. That’s what we thought when Dallas traded for him in February. Now that he’s been here for a month, it appears that our groupthink was actually right. (It’s fun when that happens, isn’t it?) In a recent post, my colleague Josh Bowe took a look at how Noel is playing as a whole, but I wanted to focus on his on-court relationships to see how he is being set up to succeed in Dallas.
At 22 years old, Noel is already a screen-setting, rim-rolling, lob-dunking, defensive-minded, shot-altering, rebound-grabbing machine.
