He's E'Twaun Moore with less scoring ability. Am I missing something? From where I stand he's a scientist that makes bone-headed plays on the court.
IMO he's looking like a terrible pick drafted solely on character. How he made it to the rookie/sophomore game I will never understand.


Andrew is the most efficient scorer on the team and actually draws fouls and gets free throws


Most efficient scorer on the team??? :roll:

Andrew will be a life long bench player. I wasn't a fan of his when we picked him. He runs flat footed, and lacks the athleticism and strength necessary to start in this league.

He has a decent post game, and a decent jumper. Outside of that he is below average. I'll be happy in 2 years when he is sitting behind a couple guys ahead of him on the depth chart. For now, he makes a good tank PF for the 2013-2014 season.


i love how a player does half a season and everyone thinks they have the future all mapped out and they cannot get any better. And there is a reason why many other gm's wanted Nicholson in the draft this year. Not saying he is a star or will be one, but he hasnt shown anything to warrant your opinion of him.

So i was thinking about some options and I wonder if Nicholson and Vucci should play less together. Maybe AN should play more with Kyle on the second unit so he can score as much as he wants and Kyle doesn't really look to score, just concentrate on put-backs and rebounding. I don't know though, I am just looking at playing guys so that Vucci gets more touches, but if you pair him with Toby at the 4 then that may not work either as TH looks as if he will be looking to score.
Woj is the new Bucher. Shams is the new Woj. Espn is the new TMZ. The NBA is the new WWE.

I think Toby plays better defense and has better handles than Nicholson. That would create better ball movement for Vucci to find his spot to get open.

I imagine we will see a bunch of new lineups with JV feeling everyone out, but just threw it out there to see what others may have thought. I just want the Niks to get their shots.

Why does it matter if Tobias would look to score if he is the better offensive player? I want and we NEED a scorer, why does it matter which one of the young guys it turns out to be?
A smart coach once said, "Potential just means you're not good enough yet." Playing on potential is like living on air: It's essential, but if thats all you have, you're eventually going to starve.

It doesn't really i guess. I just think Vooch can be overlooked at times and is a capable scorer also. We should look for him more.
