the biggest offensive weakness of this team is above the break threes. if Nickel can space out 30ft and force the nail defender to be level or above the 3pt line this will give our iso drives a lot more space to have success. this is the one area we lost when we traded donte.

I can definitely see it helping mikal and Landry.

Nickel's defense in SL was much better than advertised. We'll have to see how that transfers to camp and the reg season, but thus far he looked competent on the D end.
