Great profile of Nerlens.

Calipari, who was a Sixers assistant coach under Larry Brown, believes Noel was the best player in the draft, despite being selected sixth by the New Orleans Pelicans and being traded to the Sixers. "Something inside of him when the game gets hairy comes out," he said. "It's that it factor those great players have. That's what I'm telling everybody. I know he hurt his leg, I know. "But of all those players in that draft, he was one that had that it."

Exactly. The tighter it got, the more the play was "must have", the more he stepped up.

Super read. That family's guts and determination still shows what America is all about. I just wish more of us displayed it.
