Nerlens Noel was projected by many to be the No. 1 overall pick, but slipped all the way to No. 6 after Anthony Bennett, Victor Oladipo, Otto Porter, Cody Zeller and Alex Len were chosen before him.

When asked about the five teams who passed him, Noel admitted he felt overlooked.

"I'm going to make them pay," he said.

Noel heads into his rookie season with the knowledge of what he needs to improve.

"I want to work on my mid-range jumper and become a more polished player offensively," he said.
