Their physical attributes determine their ceiling on defense. Kolek's physical attributes make it almost impossible for him to be more than average. Any edge a player like Kolek would be able to develop is greater anticipation which leads to deflections and steals and disrupting lanes on switches. That comes from being a student of the game, knowing the league and its players and exerting will and intelligence. But he'll never be a great man defender. Average there would be more than satisfactory. Nickel has enough attributes to aspire to being an above average man defender, but unless he trains for faster twitch muscles and a quicker first step he still will not have the physical attributes of Shamet who has quicker feet and a wiry frame while being very strong. But Nickel looks like a smart ball player who excels at role playing. He works hard at perfecting what is expected of him, so I believe he will improve on D. |

I think the ruling to get a 5th year of eligibility for kids graduating high school in 2022 just came out a few days ago. Nickel would qualify. Prob make more money in college too.

Knicks didn’t offer diawara an exhibit-10 contract until sept 10 last year. So what is different this year? This is the first of this aug 5 thing being reported anywhere. |
