One of the most talked about players at the Peach Jam this week has been Kentucky 2013 target Nerlens Noel.

Noel has been blocking shots left and right, and even had a triple double, and also blocked 12 shots in a game.
Adam Zagoria of Zagsblog.com believe that Noel is the MVP of the tournament, and so do other high major coaches.

Noel, who attends the Tilton (N.H.) Schools, is part of a trio of uber-talented members of the Class of 2013 here, along with [B]Julius Randle[/B] and [B]Jabari Parker.[/B] But if you ask coaches which player they would take first in a draft, many go with Noel.
“I’ll take Noel,” one high-major assistant said. “He can dominate without having the ball. You can put players around him who can score, while the other two have to have the ball.”
Veteran New York recruiting expert [B]Tom Konchalski[/B] also votes for Noel, who’s ranked as the No. 1 center in the Class of 2013 by Rivals.
“[BABC coach] [B]Leo Papile[/B] calls him [B]Bill Russell,[/B]” he said. “He’s a guy who’s a terrific shot-blocker. He’s had double-figure games with blocks. He’s so quick off the floor. He runs the court extremely well. As [B]Jay Bilas[/B] would say, he has great length.
“His offense is improving. His shot-blocking is way ahead of his offensive game, but he is improving.”
