--
Nerlens Noel has been highly-touted for his ability to
dominate defensively. He was named SEC Defensive Player of the Year as a
Kentucky Wildcat, and he is currently sixth in the entire NBA in blocks per
game, despite being just a rookie. If his defense continues to develop at this
trajectory, he will surely be in the running for several NBA DPOY awards.
While
Noel’s developing defense may be his true calling card, his play on the other
side of the floor has also been pleasantly promising.

Some of Noel’s improvement on the offensive end could
potentially be credited to his work with CoachUp, a service that connects
athletics with private coaches in a one-on-one environment aimed at
improvement. Noel has been working with CoachUp since before the 2013 Draft,
and most recently he has been working with CoachUp founder Jordan Fliegel throughout
this season to develop his post-game.
Noel is a big proponent of private coaching, and credits
working with one-on-one instruction throughout his growth for much of the
success he has attained in basketball up to this point.
“Private coaching has definitely helped my confidence,” he
stated. “It used to be when I made a move, I wasn’t really sure if I was going
to hit the shot. That confidence comes through with being in the gym all the
time with someone that can harness that confidence inside of you, knowing that
you’re going to make it.”
Noel’s work with CoachUp this season has focused on five specific post progressions that are intended to help a post player get the upper-hand on defenders. Each move could serve as a central skill for an NBA big. The five moves that Noel has been focusing on are: the inside pivot, a drop step, the rip through, a quick baseline spin, and the pick-and-roll.
Noel runs the motions of these moves over and over again, until
they become almost muscle memory, with his coach providing the defensive
presence, black blocking pad in hand.
“In one word, I would describe private coaching as ‘crucial,’”
Noel explained. “Early on I was gifted athletically, but to really bring your
skill set along, you need someone there working with you.”
Thanks to detailed videos from CoachUp featuring motion
graphics, high-resolution slow-motion footage, and technical step-by-step
instruction, we are able to see exactly how Noel is learning and the practice
he puts in before testing out a move in-game. The incorporation of some of
these moves, as well as fundamental footwork, can already be seen in Noel’s game.
At only 20 years of age, Noel still has ample opportunity in
front of him to expand his offensive arsenal, and it is pretty promising to see
him taking solid steps toward developing that part of his game. Increased
confidence is already evident on the offensive end. Noel could be a
double-digit scorer in the NBA off of athleticism and ability alone. If he
could develop a real low-post skill set to pair with that athleticism, he could
become downright dangerous, especially once you take into account his defensive
dominance. Sixers’ struggles aside, the future is bright for Nerlens Noel.
