I think anchoring the zone he would average more than 3 blocks a game. That sounds crazy, but I really think he [I]is[/I] that much of a difference maker as a shotblocker. Instincts, speed, leaping ability - he's built to swat shots. If he goes elsewhere I still think 3 is a reasonable number.
 
Rebounding is hard to project. It's difficult to average ten on a season in our scheme. I think he could do it, but to be safe I'd say 9, +/- .5. He's probably a better rebounder for Kentucky than us. 
 
The ppg is interesting, because I think that will have more to do with the balance of the team he's on than it will be a statement of his offensive ability. I think on our team he's around 12 a game, maybe room for a little more depending on how the ball gets spread around, but if a lot of guys leave Kentucky he might be good for 16+ there. He's not an offensive juggernaut by any means, but he can probably get 6 to 8 points a game just on hustle. 
 
I don't think the numbers are going to tell the story with Noel, much like they didn't with Fab. He will immediately make the defense terrifying for whoever he plays for.
