Either way, his recently posted picture of himself and potential lottery pick D'Angelo Russell from Ohio State with simply a question mark as the caption, is intriguing.
Russell is a stud, and figures to be a top-4 pick June's Draft. The Sixers figure to have a top-5 pick in said Draft, and depending on how the ping-pong balls bounce in the upcoming lottery, they could have up to 3 first round picks. Russell is an athletic point guard- an obvious need for the Sixers - who has drawn comparisons to James Harden. It seems as though a large percentage of the Philadelphia faithful would be pretty psyched if the team landed Russell.
The fact that Noel and Russell are apparently at least cordial doesn't mean much in terms of the Sixers actually landing him in the draft, but the fact that he already has a connection on the team can't hurt.
Russell posted the same picture on his own account without a caption. He and Noel are apparently men of few words.
