Harkless is living and training in Orlando. He has been tweeting about it.
Another observation about Nicholson based on pics: He has very small wrists. Wonder if this speaks to his bone structure in general, and relatedly, to his ability to add significant bulk.

thanks.
Do you think Nicholson can develop into a #1 option for us?
I don't see him as a #1 option but do see him as a core player at PF giving you 16ppg 7-8rpg 3apg he is very smart plus has a high BB IQ. A old but interesting story from the Toronto board Nicolson went to grade school with many Philippine kids and even though he was bigger they were better. But he worked on his game and progressed just as he did in university. He is a player that can start now not like some seniors like Kemba and Jimmer and he as few weaknesses in his game. If he gets the minutes he will be a top 5 in ROY. He had the biggest hands of all rookies.

This mostly depends on how tank-alicious GM Henngan "asks" Coach Vaughn to be with his roster. If Davis is playing 35 mpg+ at the PF slot, then Nicholson will not be much more than a practice squad guy.

Nicholson is clearly a top-four rookie so far this year.

This is appalling as Mr. Nicholson is clearly #3 on the list as sorted by NBA.com . There is not 29 GMs that would rank Kyle Singler over Drew (the Detroit GM must, by default).

I like the David West comparison that's been thrown around since he was in college better.

Re: Magic Select Andrew Nicholson with 19th Pick
I don't think Andrew's that much like West aside from the fact they're both good pick-and-pop guys. David West's handle was excellent for a 4, he could pull up off the dribble in his earlier days.
I think a shorter Al Jefferson is a better comp for Andrew.

I like that Drew's rebounding is improving over his last 4 games, he's got amazing footwork it's crazy that he just started playing in high school
aol4532 on bill russell
I think if you put McGee back then, he would get those blocks just as easily as Russell did. Russell's athleticism was well ahead of the players of his time, and that's about it.

I'll take that Al Jefferson comparison, but i think Andrew has more potential both offensively because offensively i can easily see Andrew's range extending to the 3pt line range that Jefferson doesn't have.

He is like a mix of Al Jefferson and Luis Scola. This kid has tremendous touch and instincts. His confidence is just growing by leaps and bounds.
