Expectations are starting to spiral out of control.
 
First off, RJ and AO as mentioned before were all-league.  To think Noel is going off for more than 13 ppg and 10 rpg is expecting an awful lot.  For some perspective Drummond is at 10 and 8, A Davis is at 14 and 10, Fab is at 8 and 6.  I don't think Noel averages 13 and 10 now while in high school. 
 
As for the OP, JB normally loves having the low post scorer (see AO and RJ).  And while it doesn't seem like AOs numbers support it, don't forget he played limited minutes and all his points were feeding the low post type.  He didn't get fast break points.  And he wasn't any alley oop type.  His points were high percentage back to the basket moves.  Same for RJ. 
 
There is no major change needed out of JB to accomodate a post scorer.  It is really this year that is the aberration.  Many have had a hard time trusting and believing in this team because its construction is so different from previous good years.  SU has generally had the big in the blocks that presented matchup problems for other teams - from RJ to AO to Hak to Wallace to DC.  JB will love having it back.
