Nick can score from the three (35% from three the past 2 years), has a accurate mid range jump shot, drives to the basket hard and finishes in the lane, and has some solid low post moves.  He is capable of defending the 2, 3 and 4.  He can rebound well on the offensive and defensive ends and never takes a play off.  Nick is the ultimate hustle player and always seems to find the loose ball. Nick is always ready to take a charge and put his body on the line to make a great play. Nick does all the little things on the court that a coach needs.

"A very long and athletic player, who rebounds very well and has a soft touch inside even though he is only 6’6’’. Very good parameter shot and handling skills. Nick has a very well build body. Has above average Basketball IQ. He can play easily three positions. Hard working and eager to learn fast. He is definitely of good basketball material." - European Scout
