Nerlens Noel can speak. We were reminded of this amazing fact yesterday when the great big hope of the Sixers spoke to the media yesterday for the first time in ages.

"Obviously I do want to play. The 19-year-old in me that has been sitting on the sideline really wants to get out there and show my abilities."
