Noah (knee) hopes that he's unlimited during training camp following arthroscopic surgery on his left knee on May 1. "It's going to be a grueling season," he said Monday. "This is the first time I've had surgery on my knee. I'm hoping there are no limitations."

Analysis:

If the Bulls' training staff deems that Noah should follow a cautious route, the offseason exchange of Pau Gasol for Carlos Boozer should take some of the burden off the Florida product to log his typical run. In back-to-back All-Star campaigns, Noah logged 5,865 combined minutes across 163 games between the regular season and playoffs, good for 36.0 per game during the last two years. Thus, a modest decrease could come to pass in the early going, making him a risky proposition for fantasy endeavors.
