ANALYSIS: Noel carved out a solid role for himself with the Knicks last season, starting 41 of 64 games while averaging 5.1 points and 2.2 blocks per game. He offers value as a rim-protecting center who doesn't need to take up touches on offense. Noel has played for the Sixers, Mavericks, Thunder and Knicks since being drafted sixth overall in 2013.
