Golden State Warriors: Ranking the top 5 low-cost free agents in 2020
Nerlens Noel
Since joining the NBA in 2014, Nerlens Noel has hopped around from team to team, never staying in one place for more than three seasons. Given his strengths, it is a tad surprising, especially since he’s had such a high shooting percentage.
With the exception of his rookie season, Noel has consistently shot with over 52% from the field.
One could also argue Noel’s shooting percentage is so high because he hasn’t played many minutes in his six seasons in the league. The 6-foot-10 power forward and center from the University of Kentucky was a member of the 1st All-Rookie Team.
Aside from that, he hasn’t seen too many accolades. Consistently being left off the floor, Noel is taking an upward turn this season in Oklahoma City. He’s thrived alongside Chris Paul and has been able to use his length to protect the rim, something OKC desperately needed.
Noel, and the other four, would be great additions if they can come to Golden State at the right price.
