Expert Analysis
Britt Wright | Prep Hoops Scout
He’s had a productive Spring in club ball, now heading into June with his high school ball. He’s actively looking to put points on the board within the flow of the offense. He’s an excellent handler, and passer. He gets aggressive using dribble, has a series of moves and footwork to get into the paint to drop his lil fade jumpers, sometimes off the glass with touch that goes in regularly. He’ll knock down 3’s if left unattended.

He’s listed as a shooting guard, but can switch to the point guard position if called to do so. Good handles, quality passing, handles ball pressure. He has good strength using his body to take care of the ball and getting into the paint for points and assists. He’s aggressive with ball in hand looking to score off the dribble hitting pull up jumpers, and moving without the ball for catch 3’s, or a dribbles to free himself for 3’s around the perimeter.

He can run point, handle ball pressure, he has good body control working to get to his spots, he’ll get his shot off over defenders in the paint. He has a clean jump shot from mid-range out past the 3-point line.

Going forward he’s going to attract the other teams top defender. Nishikawa has hard dribbles, and a solid body he uses every time he goes to the basket. He’s got good hang time, and attacks from different areas. He used his hard hard dribbles along the baseline, planting two feet, then powered up drawing contact and converting. He hits the paint jumper with lift, knocks down long 3’s from the top and other areas. He handles ball pressure. Looks to take and make the big shots.

We haven’t seen a lot of Nishikawa this season. He was a key contributor to his varsity team. He has good fundamentals, plays at a good pace, running the court, ball handling, and making good passes in transition and around the perimeter. He has good drives to the basket handling contact and can knock down the open shots. We’ll have to see more of this prospect going forward.
