Nix should’ve long been a name included in our rankings dating back to his successful sophomore campaign on a successful Sherwood team. Nevertheless, he makes his strong debut at No. 40 and like Fisk, is a prospect that has a chance to improve his ranking over time. He boasts a blend of size, physicality and athleticism that not many hybrid forwards in this class have. He earned his stripes as an underclassmen showing his chops in the paint and battling for boards, earning second chance opportunities on dump-offs or offering versatility on the defensive side of the ball. While he still prides himself on those foundational skills, he’s shown improvement within the mid-range or even out on the perimeter as a real threat to knock down shots and space the floor. In fact, going into the last week of December, Nix was posting 25.3 points per game on 45 percent from beyond the arc while hauling in nine rebounds.
