Nerlens Noel has what it takes to be Sixth Man of the Year. Before the outcries pointing out that he missed a month and a half of the season begin, yes that will hurt his chances for sure.
Just hear me out.
In limited time he has proven to be an almost invaluable back up center for the Philadelphia 76ers. Yes, this a a lot of talk for a guy that has only played in 13 games and only averages about 15 minutes per game. When compared to other players that have a strong case for Sixth Man of the Year, a candidacy for Noel requires closer inspection.
