Get his weight up a little and develop his offense. One more year would've helped. I can see why Davis and MKG left as they won a title and their stock was high as fukk. I can see why Irving left after not playing much due to injuries because of his skill set. Noel actually lost money by coming out. If he was afraid of getting hurt he could've taken out an insurance policy.
Most of the freshman that come out in this class wasn't ready. If Harrison Barnes had come out after his freshman year he would've been the player he is now. Players need to recognize when to hold and when to go all in.

his stock aint drop because of his injury. It dropped because he is a tweener. He's too small to bang inside and he has very little offensive moves. The ONLY asset he has thats worthy of top 5 is his shot blocking. He's not a player you build a franchise around at this point. Oden and his 50 year old body was worth the gamble, Noel wasn't. He could've potentially raised is stock or it could've dropped. Either he or the people around him wasn't confident it could be raised.
