Watched the Dayton game.....I'm almost 100% sure that Nicholson can't be guarded 1 on 1 on the block....so skilled man....easy to see why he got doubled and triple teamed in college he was damn near unstoppable.....even in Summer league teams had to respect him got doubled there too lol......what i think he has to do now is work on his body and get better at putting the ball on the floor along with protecting the ball aka cutting down the turnovers.....it will do him good to put on about 10-15 pounds.....but overall man he has everything in his bag of tricks man and his jumper is probably more automatic than Bass's is......

Hennigan is a damn wizard. He made the pick NOBODY saw coming. Pure Genius.

he was a non-lottery pick for a reason. I hope he develops, but you guys are putting way too much hopes on a player that will need some time to adjust.

thanks for the harkless game finds, ChildishGambino, found only one nicholson:

http://espn.go.com/watchespn/player/_/s ... /condensed
St. Bonaventure vs. #22 Illinois

kind of a sub-par game for nicholson:
17 pts, 8 reb, 0 ast, 1 blk, 3 stl, 7-18 fg, 3-6 ft

low-scoring game and the bonnies lose, but nicholson outplays 11th overall pick meyers leonard

he's a bit bigger now but yeah he needs to bulk up a bit but that will come with time....i believe i remember him being listed 240 when i was watching the combine on Nbatv and it's been a while since then wouldn't surprise me if he's 245 maybe 250 by now.....

Didn't he have a meniscus issue at one point? Or am I thinking of someone else?

^^^Too short and wear and tear would severely shorten his chances at playing in every game. Plus, we don't need him getting blocked a million times by 7-footers.
