Nichols made his presence felt during Summer Live stops in Philadelphia and Baltimore, consistently knocking down perimeter shots at a high rate. The 6-3 guard has a quick release and doesn’t need much space to get his shot off. His ability to play without the ball makes him especially valuable, as he can punish defenses simply by finding open windows around the floor. When defenders lose track of him, Nichols makes them pay. His shooting remains the calling card, but the consistency he’s shown this summer is what makes him a prospect to watch.
