Nerlens Noel’s career isn’t over.
In just a handful of days, Noel will turn 24 years old, yet after a horrific season in Dallas, people seem to already be writing him off and taking their jabs at him. And I get it.
Noel and his camp turned down a massive offer sheet last summer to bet on himself this year in hopes of earning a big payday. After losing minutes in the rotation, having thumb surgery and now failing a drug test that resulted in a five-game suspension, this is the valley of Noel’s short career so far.
