Rim Protection.
It’s the ability to block shots close to the basket. Rim- protection is one of the dominant skills by Philadelphia 76ers center/power forward Nerlens Noel.
Finally, I believe there is a consensus to the belief that rim protection is a necessary component to an NBA championship team. These points have been raised frequently in the never-ending debate of whether Jahlil Okafor or Nerlens Noel should be the odd man out going forward with the team.
The NBA has certain skill sets that are applauded more than others. A point guard who can make circus passes, a shooting guard who can sink a three, and a center who can block shots are all held in the highest regard in the NBA.
