The Suns should NOT sign Nerlens Noel

Noel has already been traded twice and didn’t keep the starting spot in Philly, so is he Overhyped?

Finally, while Noel has been more nationally celebrated than Len, he has been traded twice already in his career, and last season was benched in Philadelphia before finally being traded to Dallas. While this is circumstantial evidence of a player’s potential in the league, last season was at least proof that even as dominating a power forward/center as many believe him to be, he wasn’t even worth enough to keep a spot in a lottery team’s rotation.

As a not-very-successful center in the league yet, Noel has received much of his national notoriety as one of the first draft picks of the “Trust the Process” era in Philadelphia, and thus may very well be far overvalued by some in the league. As Len is so statistically similar to Noel (and has never been a problem in the lockerrom), had Len been a part of The Process  instead of Noel and put up the same statistics, would he too be on the verge of a potential max contract?

Next: Why the Suns SHOULD target Nerlens Noel

Had the Suns drafted Noel over Len, and he too both repeated his statistics and was unable to topple Tyson Chandler in the starting lineup, would he have just a hard time getting a contract right now as Len is?

Obviously these are questions to answers that fans will never know the answers to, but questions that none-the-less should be taken into account when evaluating whether or not the Suns should sign him.

But this is just one point of view. Does the true answer lie within another?
