What other grade can be given to a player who transformed himself from an “energy guy” into the focal point of Chicago’s offense this season?

Although Noah was hampered by a knee injury during the postseason, which limited his effectiveness in the five-game series against the Washington Wizards, he was the heart and soul of this team in 2013-14 and the Bulls would not have been a playoff team without his presence on the court.
