Center, Nerlens Noel

With all signals pointing to DeAndre Jordan’s impending departure, Nerlens Noel could be a nice replacement in his role. Having recently just turned 24 years old, Noel can seek a 1 year, prove it deal with the LA Clippers.

He will fit in with the mesh of young guys and vets on the team and Doc Rivers can get the most out of him as he did with DJ.

Staying healthy is key for Noel as he averaged only 15 mins a game while only playing a total of 30 games last year. He has a 6’11 frame as well and has the ability to defend and catch lobs as well.
