I'm convinced Noel will be a Celtic shortly...

I worry more about defense than offense. Stevens has found useful offensive roles for a lot of players. Defense is the issue I think, and I don't think we really know anything about his aptitude there, except that he has good physical tools.

I wish those highlight videos had more on the defensive side of things. Or like the DE vids they showed weaknesses too.

Spot on.  We'd have to watch full-game videos to get a sense of defense.  I think I'll leave that to the front office.  Certainly, Zizic probably won't contribute to our switch everything defense that has shown some success this season.

I think Noel will be fine in this offense.  Even though Steven's system is based on spacing, there is still room for a rim runner, that sets the picks and rolls to the rim and cleans up on putbacks. I think Noel will be a lot better if he was on the C's than the sixers since he can just concentrate on the things he can be good at ..

If Noel could be Tyson Chandler circa 2011 on offense, he'd be fine.

PLayers that would qualify for max contract. Noel 2017 25% 0f 102m=25.5m/year. Kelly 2018 25.5,Smart 2019 25.5 IT 30% of 102m =30.6m Bradley 2018 25.5. ? is Who and how do we give a contract to.? We can try to redesignate 4  players. i would try to sign Noel to offer sheet in July as RFA.
Try to redesignate KO and Smart.I think I would draft Fultz and see how he works with It.Decision would be made, on iT and max offer. In 2018 ,if we have #1 pick, draft Ayton/Bamba as future big.
that would give us a future of  Big s  Ayton 19 C -Zizic 20 C Noel 23-Pf-Kelly 26 PF Brown 20 SF-Smart 23 G/f-Rozier 23 G- Fultz 18 G-and R2 picks  going forward into 2019 with 3 Round 1 picks Maybe IT.
