He stands around 6-foot-8 and blocks shots often. Niven's body is slender, and he must add heft ASAP. With enough space Niven is an average to above average three-point shooter. Defending the rim is something he excels at specifically with Trinity Christian Academy. He already set the school record for blocks. Niven does not have many flaws in his game. It would be nice to see him get better at rebounding "outside his area" and of course gain strength. A modern player that Niven kind of reminds of is Chet Holmgren. Realize he is not 7'1" like the OKC center, but he has similar strengths and weaknesses as the former #1 overall pick. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2571757"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6840174aa35ee"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><strong>6/4/25:</strong> Nash is an interesting hooper. Standing all of 6-foot-7, Stark can capably play either forward position. He reminds a bit of an Adam Morrison (Gonzaga alum) in that he can create his own shot, handle enough, and score from anywhere on the floor. Like Morrison his agility is average, and his explosion is just ok. Nash's shooting touch is quite good. Stark moves incredibly well away from the basketball. He looks like a faceup "4" at a small college basketball program. Exceptional baseball player too. On the diamond Stark plays either first base or corner outfield. If he chooses to play college baseball, then he will likely be a first baseman. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Quality passer. Nash does not get to run point forward much, but his skillset is ideally suited to this kind of role. He sees the spacing and the floor very well and does not appear to be a selfish player at all. He bounced a nice fastbreak pass to fellow forward [player_tooltip player_id='2043503' first='Zack' last='Niven'] against DFTW that found the pocket beautifully. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
