One of the youngest players in the NBA Draft Pick Nerlens Noel 2013 was born April 10, 1994 at Everett Massachusetts. Noel came from an athlete’s family, his brother Jim was in NFL. One of them is Linebacker for Seattle Seahawks and his brother Rodman is a midfielder for the state of North Carolina. He went to Tilton High School. He was considered as a #1 player in class 2012 by ESPN and Scout.com, and player #2 by Slam.
Noel decided in April 2012 that he would go to the University of Kentucky to play Basketball Division I NCAA. He made a verbal commitment by revealing the British logo shaved behind his head on national television. Its large length, explosion and natural time that makes it a dominant shot blocker also makes it a rebounder and a great allies/put back the Dunker.
On February 12, 2013, in the match against Florida Gators, Noel tore ACL on his left knee after blocking the Florida lay-up, forcing him to sit in the rest of the season. Before injury, it is projected that he will be the first overall pick in the 2013 NBA Draft. While his ACL injury removes some sparkle from him as a prospect because it is unknown around him back to 100%, the fact that he is very young and technology at this time with athletes like Adrian Peterson after conducting extraordinary recovery after the operation helped himself.
Although Noel may not be the No. 1 In the artificial draft of every expert, he is always at the top of their big board, which means he is the top prospect in the class.
