In a series of profiles Hoop Journal sat down with Junior DeAndre Noble, a transfer from Paterson Catholic who finds himself as one of the key players for Eastside Highschool! Noble is a tough guard for anyone because of his ability to get to the rim and his athleticism! His medium range jumper is getting better and he has legitimate D1 talent!
