considering Kurt Thomas lead the country in scoring and rebounding, accomplishments aren't everything. he ended up being a career role player

Mattd97 wrote:what? where was there even a comparison made between kurt thomas and andrew nicholson. what are you babbling about? someone asked what makes nicholson a worse prospect than a guy like udoh. i answered him. then seemingly in response to my answer you went off talking about kurt thomas being from the accomplished side of the debate, rather than the measurements. i simply said how there are a tonne of better examples for your argument. like the many accomplished ncaa players that didnt have 17 years in the nba and over 1000 games. how you think i dont want to admit that nicholson could be compared to kurt thomas is beyond me.

First of all, Kurt Thomas was an above average pro in his prime. Secondly, Nicholson has a tremendous motor and the kind of scoring touch out to the three point line that many bigs never develop. He hit two three pointers yesterday and was 10-10 from the free throw line. He's not a lottery pick, but he sure looks like a nice pickup for a good team in the 15-30 range.
