Teams concerned about Noel's injury history

Teams would have to deal with fact that he tore his left ACL in February. That will keep him out until Christmas, at the earliest. That's not a good thing for a team with playoff aspirations in 2013-14.

Now, there are rumors of a pre-existing condition, which are sending tremors throughout the league.

According to a story in the Louisville (Ky.) Courier-Journal, Noel fractured his growth plate in his left knee as a sophomore in high school. Perhaps, the risk is too great to draft a player who relies heavily on his athleticism and jumping ability.

It has definitely caused trepidation with some teams. It's not known whether it's enough to dissuade the Cavs from taking him No. 1.

I've been saying this. He's always had knee issues & the fact he can hardly put on weight is a concern too. Anthony had a frame where you could eventually see him adding more weight. I don't see that with Noel.
