I don’t know that you would really call Nick a traditional point guard because he does have good size, and he can score in double figures regularly, but in 17u I really liked Nick as a decision maker and he didnt force much of anything. He was efficient, and those items are what make a really good decision maker at the one.

When you think about Jiech and Cook at Tech, they are going to need a distributor and I think Nick can do that. To me this is a very good D3 level prospect that is only going to get better.

Nick Brakes Nick Brakes 6'3" | PG Tech High School | 2027 State MN showcased an impressive mid-range game for Minnesota Comets Hondl. At 6’4 he had the agility to get to his spots off one or two dribbles, and showed a high release point that made it difficult for defenders to contest when he pulled up. Elevate Skills was able to defend him with length, but that didn’t slow down Nick at all as he was consistently getting to his spots on the floor. With his length on the other end he was able to defend a number of different positions, and provided an extra rebounding presence who could take a defensive board and quickly initiate the break the other way.
