 With his great A-10 tourney and maybe a good game in March Madness does he become the first senior drafted?

 Wow, he had a monster game vs Xavier.  A near triple double, 10/10 from the line, and taking his guy off the dribble at the top of the key for a key bucket late in the game.  I was impressed, and I think his wingspan is probably at least 7’3”. I had him ranked around 35 or so last week, but I think if the Bonnies make a NCAA run he could improve his stock as high as 20, but I think Tyler Zeller is going to be the first senior picked.

To me, Zeller, has the potential to be a guy a team falls in love with and picks as high as 8 or 9, I don’t think he drops past 14.

There’s a few Canucks on the Bonnies. New Mexico State and Gonzaga like grabbing the Canadian talent too. It makes sense. It’s a harder for them to go after the top HS players in the US because of their size but they can grab the pick of the litter north of the border.

 Today was the first game I had ever seen him play in, and he was tremendous. Showed to me he can do almost all aspects of the game well, even at the next level. Can step out hit jumpers, nice touch down low (couple sweet unblockable hook shots), great rebounder, great shot blocker… What stood out to me was how quickly he got off the floor, displaying some real explosiveness (not what I expected..).. His shot might get even better watching his free throws he showed some solid mechanics..

 I have seen him twice this year now and I think he will be a first round pick with at least one more good game. I think we can all agree he is better then Patrick O’Bryant already.

Nicholson maybe have the highest Basketball IQ in the NCAA. He was outsmarting the opponent all day today (which may not be too difficult against Xavier). He does lack elite athletisism although his good athletisism is used properly which makes up for the fact that he is not jumping like Howard or Stoudemire.

Overall his skillset reminds me of a guy like Charlie Villanueva, his mentallity is much better though. The difference between the two is that Nicholson does not just camp out on the perimeter, he bangs down low. He does not just cherry pick he gets dirty rebounds and blocks.

Nicholsons best qaulity is easily his understanding of not only the game but his own role.

ANyone like that comparison

[OhCanada-Participant]

Hes more like an Aldridge type player. Obviously not that much production should be expected but they play a very smilar game. Thats why I compare him to a gritty and focused Charlie Villanueva. Imagine if Charlie Villaueva stayed focused, cared about his teammates, rebounded, blocked shots, and played team basketball. That would be a scary piece to any team.

Tyler Zeller and Draymond Green should be selected before Nicholson. Jeff Taylor and Kris Joseph also have a case.

Nickelson was on scouts radar at the start of the season..He has a great back to the basket game,nice motor,high bball IQ,nice touch from outside,rebounds and run the floor well..He got off slowly and scouts cooled off on him..He didnt really didnt start playing like a 1st round prospect until the end of the season..Boston’s Danny Ainge has said to be in love with this kid..Boston have two 1st round picks and might use 1 on him…I like him much better then the much overrated Pat Young…

Drew Gordon is another player that might slip into the 1st round after all the workouts & measurements are done..Scouts were expecting a big year out of him also,but he still has been solid..A great passer,nice post game and good rebounder..

Guys like Nickelson & Gordon stock will raise after workouts..And guys we hear about everyday like Kris Joseph and Henson will fall….I expect Thomas Robinson to fall in the 8 to 15 range,his moves are mechanical and he doesnt have a back to the basket game….But he has the talent to be a double digit rebound guy,like a Kris Humphies..

 I like Draymond Green alot,but dont see him going above the 25 range…

 ^ they get all the scraps that Texas doesn’t get

 I really like Nicholson. He has great post moves, can shoot the ball, and can block shots. I would be suprised if he fell out of the first round, and if he did that is one hell of a second round pick.
