Zeller was a -7 today.

It seemed like he didn't get many minutes today.

I still don't get the hype some have for Noel here. He really doesn't seem like a guy that would improve our team a ton, if at all.

he was in there for about a fifth of the total game. Made his presence felt.

Exactly.  He's not that good.

He is from the Boston area ... Otherwise he wouldn't get half the attention on this board.

I'm not all aboard the Noel hype-train, but he would fit in extremely well with our defensive system. Philly doesn't seem to have any system in place at all. He can switch on to smaller players, has great instincts (as evidenced by his steals/blocks), and is a great athlete. We aren't talking about another tall stiff; he actually has bbiq - at least on the defensive side of the ball. Currently, he is like the center version of Marcus Smart.

Crowder wasn't exactly a household name before coming to Boston. Sometimes it's all about fit. I think it is really difficult to analyze any individual player on Philly.

I like that comparison. TP!
