Every offseason we gush about everyone and yet I hardly ever hear this man's name come up. Does anyone have any updates about him? What is he working on? Is he a gym rat? Anything new?

He runs a small lounge in an upscale suburb of Paris now.

He should be playing for Team Canada in the FIBA Americas in September -- so we might get an early glimpse of what he's been working on!

He's been trying to find the best spot on the bench for the upcoming season. Last year he sat 3rd to the right but with Ridnour & O'Quinn gone hes looking to upgrade to the 3rd chair on the left. Tough decisions ahead for AN hope he picks the right chair to sit on.

Heard he had sushi recently, which was followed by an episode of explosive diarreah. This caused him to lose 10 pounds. Unfortunately it wasn't from his big clown feet so he is still slow as ever.

Yes, but as a NBA veteran, he is no longer eligible.

Yeah after playing as a rookie and sophomore, I don't think you're allowed to play if you have a guaranteed deal.

Pacers do not have a power forward on the roster I think........

Didn't he request a trade last season? Unless Skiles convinced him to give it another shot I imagine we'll be trading him.

Update: Still slow, still can't jump and still doesn't play any D. Only remaining fan is Doct3r Dr3.

Drew is underrated and clearly improved his defense last season. In order to get the most out of him we need him to go back to his original game of posting and midrange, like a mini Vuc, and stop forcing him to the 3 pt line.

I just hope Skiles lets him return to his strengths if he lets him see the floor. No more threes.

Nicholson's faults seem easy to scout. Who can't observe slow? Jumping is a measurable statistic. But we drafted him anyway.

I'll bet this left an impression on Larry Bird...

(BTW, they just drafted Myles Turner -- dunno if they project him as a 4 or a 5, but he's looked great in SL)
