http://www.basketball-reference.com/players/n/noelne01.htmlhttp://www.basketball-reference.com/players/o/okafoja01.htmlNoels numbers only ticked up a hair in pts and rbs per game while his bls and to got slightly worse. Noels stats show he is a better defensive player but I'm not sure how much more he is going to improve in either category.
Im not sure Noel is the better player in Stevens system.
Some of Okafor stats are effected by the 76ers full court press to lose/tank for picks. I see 20pts 10rbs 1blk per game as Okafor 1 to 2 yrs future. A back to the basket with mid range jumper 5. That is so much of an improvement over Sully/KO/AJ/Zeller its not funny.
If DA can get something in addition for that #3 then thats even more icing on the cake. In the end the Celtics are a playoff team now and no rookie will improve the wins on this team in the next 2 yrs more than this trade.
