The flaw in his game is that he's really short, small. That can't be fixed, and it creates a ceiling.
But the rest of his game is there. He's really good at setting the table, and he can shoot too.
His upside? JJB. McConnell.
That is VERY VERY VERY unlikely right away, but if he can learn how to navigate the trees on offense and use his small size to be a pest on defense, he could be very helpful in a couple years. He has learning ahead of him. But I like this.
I correct what I said in the summer league thread which I saw first. Now I’m excited and I’ve already moved to the acceptance stage on Nico. With Kyrie out, if someone gets injured he is a table setter who might just play his 50 games early as a change of pace guard to fill whatever desperate minutes we end up having this year.
