For the majority of Nerlens Noel’s career in the NBA, his main purpose has been one thing on the offensive end: roll to the basket and catch an alley-oop.
That much isn’t a surprise and Rick Carlisle acknowledges that.
“You know he is a young guy who has really been told to run to the rim and go for lobs the majority of his young career,” Carlisle said when talking about Noel’s developing offensive game.
But if that is working for Noel, why try to fix what is not broken?
Because you don’t want another Andrew Bogut on the offensive end.
