Noel’s reclassification will impact 2013 NBA Draft

It is entirely possible that a decision announced this past week at a small boarding school in New Hampshire will have a profound impact on the 2013 NBA Draft.

Nerlens Noel, a 6-foot-10 shot-blocker who has been compared to Bill Russell and Anthony Davis, announced that he would reclassify to the high school Class of 2012 from the Class of 2013.

“I’m ready to do it,” Noel, out of The Tilton (N.H.) School, told Dave Telep of ESPN.com in reference to reclassyifying. “It’s a short window of time to pick a school.”

Noel’s decision opens the way for him to spend one year on campus during the 2012-13 season — assuming he qualifies academically — and then to become the No. 1 pick in the 2013 NBA Draft.
