Nicholas is a physical and athletic forward who reminds you of an old-school player. He is strong and likes to impose his will on you throughout the game. He crashes boards at the highest point with his leaping ability and length. He gets a ton of second-chance points. He is a great rim protector on the other end as well. He plays with a high motor. He is not the tallest forward but he can play big because of his mindset, length, and athleticism. He is not afraid to use a couple of his fouls too. He is someone that you know what you are going to get from him every game.

Nicolas is a physical freak who can dominate any player in the paint. He was doing it all you want a big man to do in the game I saw him play in this year. He is a strong, tough, and competitive kid. He is undersized and big as far as height but in strength, he can bang with anyone. He is a monster on the boards due to his great leaping ability. He can get the ball in places and no one else can for rebounds and blocks. He is a great rim protector. He blocks and alters a ton of shots. You have to gameplay for it. He can finish with both hands and runs the floor well. He is more athletic than a lot of other forwards. Takes him to a new level.

Nicholas was the most impressive player I saw this week. This kid has made leaps and bounds in his game which has taken his game to the next level. He is an undersized forward but plays much larger. He has a great frame and body on him which makes him a really strong player. He is not only strong but he plays strong. Everything he does is strong. He rebounds strong, makes strong moves, and defenders strong. It is very impressive to watch. He is a really good athlete with great leaping ability. This helps him rebound the ball at the highest point and block almost any shot. He finishes the ball well. He has great post-defense discipline. He is never out of position and does not go for blocks he can not get. He is a player you would love to have on your team.

An athletic forward, Nicholas came off the bench and provided an instant spark for Ohio United’s 16 U group. A couple dunks on Saturday, Nicholas is super bouncy. With his athleticism and vertical pop, Nicholas also grabbed a handful of offensive rebounds. His most impressive move was when he caught the ball on the block and used a spin move into a quick lefty layup that left the defense in a daze. Ohio United’s 16 U squad had a few players make big contributions on Saturday with
