2016 Outlook: Joakim Noah

Related Topics: Joakim Noah

Joakim Noah just hasn't been the same player over the past few years as knee and shoulder injuries have taken their toll. He was especially bad last season, averaging just 21.9 minutes in 29 games before a shoulder injury ended his season and his time in Chicago for good. He did contribute 8.8 rebounds and 3.8 assists per game, solid numbers, but shot just 38.3 percent from the field and 48.9 percent on free throws for a disastrous 4.3 points per game. The Knicks still gave him a four-year deal this offseason, so they are obviously betting on his health improving, and Fantasy owners might want to as well.
