As reported on @AroundTheHorn: @NerlensNoel3, per his family, wants to wear No. 5 in Philadelphia in honor of the teams that passed on him.

This is a pretty good idea for motivation on Nerlens Noel’s part, but shouldn’t he wear #6 because the New Orleans Pelicans ended up trading him to the Philadelphia 76ers?  Just a thought.
