Nerlens Noel rocked the backboard with a thunderous putback dunk

Nerlens Noel is a very good defensive player in large part to his length and athleticism. He’s also very capable of using those skills on the offensive end and put them on full display here. That is a very smart business decision by Isaiah Thomas to reconsider jumping and just let Noel have his highlight. No one wants to get put on a poster in the season-opener.
