About Nikolai
Expert Analysis
Sam Duren | Prep Hoops Scout
Pure shooter from deep, was cashing out in the second half of a Friday evening victory. Looked most comfortable when he was a spot up threat. When his feet were set and he had space he was basically automatic. Helped out with the ball handling duties to close out the contest. Recovered a couple times against aggressive defense, which is good perseverance but will need to continue to refine his handle.

Nikolai is a tough, gritty shooting guard that can survey the floor on the fast break like a true professional. He provides instant offense when he’s on the floor and he’s a great shooter with deep range. He’s skilled at realistically pump faking and drawing contact on his jumpers on a regular basis, which leads to extra points for his team and extra trips to the line for himself. He creates a ruckus in the paint, taking on bigs with no fear and being involved nearly every time a rebound is up for grabs. He has quick hands that can stack steals throughout the game and his vision to find his streakers when they’re running is elite. Martinez makes a huge impact in multiple ways and is the type of player that makes his team significantly better.
