Nicholson rose over 50 spots as he provides a very unique blend of rim protection + the ability to make outside shots and is showing real progress in his overall game at both ends of the floor. Nicholson had a great Junior season in what was his first at The Burlington School, he averaged 6.4 Points, 5.0 Rebounds, 0.7 Assists, and 3.4 Blocks per game on 50/40/63 splits. He played a complimentary role offensively but showed a ton of positive trajectory in his ability to finish around the rim in traffic as the season went along. He can dive to the rim or pop off of setting a ball screen, hit the trail three, and be a quality dunker spot guy as he’s improving his strength to battle on the inside. Nicholson is mobile, you can switch with him out there, it also allows him to play with all types of different personnel groups with that versatility. Nicholson will likely be the feature big on Team Loaded South 3SSB 17u this summer where I think his recruitment will really pop.
