Nerlens Noel is rebuilding his jump shot

Sixers center Nerlens Noel shot just 28.8 percent on attempts between three and ten feet from the basket, so he has chosen to spend a portion of his summer in Rhode Island concentrating solely on improving his shot.

With the supervision of his manager, Chris Driscoll, and former Boston Celtics coach John Carroll, the 6-foot-11 post player is working on his shooting and strength at Salve Regina University and the Boys & Girls Club of Newport County.
