If you have been following Jo Noah's work with the Bulls, he has had a tough entry with his mouth and energy getting him in a bind with some of the team/coaches. But after getting a nice dose of humble pie from his teammates (they voted him out after an incident with the coaching staff) and the departure of Ben Wallace increasing his minutes, Noah is starting to show the high level talent he was drafted for.
It seems like his Freshman year in Chicago is looking a lot like his Fr year at Florida with stops and starts but flashes of brilliance. but as everything is faster in the NBA, it seems like Noah's development into a Pro player is moving fwd too.
In the game last week vs. the Bucks Noah threw down some ripping numbers:
39 Mins = 18 pts, 15 RBs (6 Off), 2 steals, 4 blox, and 2 assts w/ only 2 TOs/1 foul.
he shot 54% FGs and 4/5 at the foul line.
his next game vs Boston was less bright but had another good (not great) game vs the Cavs.
If he continues to increase his consistency, his hard work ethic and tremendous on-court energy will help the Bulls move up the ladder in the coming year. i think, like in his tenure at UF, we can expect great things from Noah at the Bulls next year.
