NBA: Top 10 international players in the league

Steve Nash #10 of the Los Angeles Lakers

5. Joakim Noah

Joakim Noah #13 of the Chicago Bulls

Joakim Noah #13 of the Chicago Bulls

He’s the heart and soul of the Chicago Bulls roster. The French player has a career average of 9.4 PPG and 9.1 RPG. He’s been a terrific defender and has the habit of getting right up in the face of his opponent. He’s also a good low post defender.

Noah had a splendid last season. When Rose decided to sit out the entire season, the general perception was that the Bulls didn’t really stand a chance against the likes of the Heat, Spurs, Thunder. Noah, along with Boozer, took up the job of making sure the opponents hardly had a chance to score against them. They were quite successful as well as they were the 3rd best defensive team last year.

He averaged 11.9 PPG, 11.1 RPG, 2.1 BPG, 1.2 SPG and 4.0 APG. Within their team, he was 4th in points, 1st in rebounds, 3rd in assists, 1st in steals and blocks. Quite literally, he did everything for the team last season and I hope he receives many more All-Star nominations in the future.
