Detroit Pistons head coach Dwane Casey praised Nerlens Noel for tremendous defense at the rim during Wednesday’s 135-118 home win vs. the Minnesota Timberwolves (5 rebounds/3 steals/4 blocks).

(via Bally Sports Detroit):

 “I thought Nerlens Noel changed the game defensively. I thought his shot blocking, his presence at the rim, gave us an opportunity to get out on the break and score some points with our defense.”
