Ex-Cat Noel finds new NBA home. See which former UK stars he's joining.

Former Kentucky center Nerlens Noel has found a new landing spot in the NBA.

The No. 6 pick in the 2013 NBA Draft has agreed to sign a two-year deal with the Oklahoma City Thunder, Yahoo Sports reported Monday.

Noel, the former No. 1 overall recruit in the class of 2012, will have a player option in the second year of the deal, Yahoo reported. The terms of the deal have not yet been reported, but Brett Dawson of the Oklahoman reported that the deal would be for the league minimum salary.

Noel joins former ex-UK players Patrick Patterson, Dakari Johnson and 2018 draftee Hamidou Diallo on the Oklahoma City roster as it currently stands.
