coach had this to say about Noel in today's teleconference:  “Incredible, incredible talent at the basket. His presence – he's averaging over six blocks per game in league play, and that is mind-boggling. Obviously last year they had a very, very special player at the basket, . And Anthony Davis was probably a little bigger – I don't know this, but I think he's a little bigger – but I'm not sure even he was the presence Noel is at the basket defensively. Completely changes the game. Playing with a lot of confidence. And you can see, a lot like Davis last year, as the season is getting further along, that kid is growing by leaps and bounds offensively as well.”
