I don't see it either. I think they are just going with the taller player Noel nor Zeller should be considered better then Baz as of now. Baz has superstar potential.

I guess if you look like you come from the Dougie video you have higher stock than someone whose name sounds like he is affiliated with Fard and the NOI

Because one is gonna take 25 shots a game and the other cares more about defense. That said Bazz is the best player in the class, but does he want to win or become the next great chucker

He's like a poor mans Anthony Davis. Which isn't a bad thing. His effect on the game (in college at least) will be more substantial. That being said, I'd put Shabazz ahead of him personally.

Because 7 footers are always valued more than wings.

Except Noel isn't a 7 footer. If people think Anthony Davis is limited offensively, wait til they get a glimpse of Noel. I don't quite get all the Noel hype. :yeshrug:

You are right on this one. He will be a top 10 pick and one and done, but he needs 2 years. No offensive game at all. His passion for D might be greater than Ants though

Y'all just don't understand. Players like Davis and Noel last in the league a good 15-18 years and play at a good level. That's just as good as a player coming in averaging 20ppg in 6-8 year span. I'm one of those people who believe Marcus Camby and Tyson Chandler were good picks at #2.

We have to face facts that todays big men are not taught to score. The days of David Robinson, Patrick Ewing, Hakeem Olajuwon etc. are over. Back in the day those 6'11, 7 footers could score and play D.
