Kentucky freshman power forward Nerlens Noel left tonight's loss to the Florida Gators with a potentially serious knee injury.
Noel landed awkwardly after a blocked shot attempt, screamed in pain and had to be carried off the court by teammates.
Coming into tonight's game, Noel was nearly averaging a double-double (10.6 points and 9.6 rebounds per game) in addition to 4.5 blocks per game, which leads the country.
Before tonight's loss, the Wildcats had won five consecutive games and made their way back into the AP Top 25 for the first time since November 26th.
In my latest NBA mock draft, Noel is the top overall pick going to the Bobcats. While he is not the consensus top choice, he will certainly be a top-five pick depending on the status of his knee injury.
