Nerlens Noel is making it in the NBA, but he'd be a fun WWE superstar.

Dallas Mavericks: Nerlens “No Nonsense” Noel

There’s a couple of different reasons why Nerlens Noel gets the slot for the Dallas Mavericks on this list.

Despite his lack of hefty weight, Vince McMahon never says no to a giant. If you’re tall, McMahon will take a look at you. This is basically one of the golden rules in WWE. You may not be able to do anything at all, but if you’re taller than most humans on the planet, you’ll get a glance.

The second reason is in the picture itself of Noel. He looks like a guy with a WWE persona. I was personally a bigger fan of the flat top Noel rocked in Philadelphia with the 76ers, but this new twisty look atop Noel’s head is just fine.

Also, there’s a WWE connection already with Noel. When he was rehabbing his knee after a surgery that surprised a lot of people, he was rehabbing in Birmingham with … none other than “The Demon King” himself, Finn Balor.

Balor was rehabbing his injuries suffered at SummerSlam last August in his Universal Championship match with Seth Rollins and the duo also took a picture together. A potential tag team in the future? That’d be some good television.

Finishing move: “Merry Christmas” (get it?), an Outsider’s Edge finish would be awesome because Nerlens is 7-foot-tall and you can’t teach that, chico.
