Expert Analysis
Andiasean Johnson | Prep Hoops Scout
Nile is another forward that’s not mentioned as much as his talent suggests he should. He’s a strong, athletic forward that can get downhill and finish above and around the rim. He’s a good rebounding forward, that shown the ability to be a 3-level scorer. Also, he’s shown that he can find easy scoring opportunities for his teammates and himself, in transition. He has fluid release on his jump shot and he allows the game to come to him, being patient with his looks and finding good chances to score. His Union Grove team is built on team play and good ball movement, which is why he doesn’t have stats that jump off the page. Make no mistake, Nile can play and can do so on the college level.

Up from No. 117: Great motor in the paint. Double-double threat as a rebounder. Does his best work within 12-feet but can space out the floor and get to the hoop when needed. Quick leaper. Averaged 8 points per game as a junior.

King, who was a double-double machine last year in the fall league, recorded 12 points, 13 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 steal in a 51-49 win against Whitewater. King is quick off the floor and has a good nose for the ball. While he often does the bulk of his scoring in the paint, Nile is smooth enough to attack from the perimeter, getting downhill or shooting from the mid-range.

. He’s a handful from 10-feet and in using his soft touch and quick leaps to score up close. The lefty sinks the mid-range jumper and will attack downhill. In the Navy Bracket Championship, King compiled 18 points, 8 rebounds, 1 assist, 4 steals and 2 blocks.

The 6-foot-5 wing does a little bit of everything. He’s a versatile defender that blocks shots inside. On offense, King likes to score from 15-feet and in. He’s got a nice jump shot and has a knack for scoring in traffic. Nile gets off the ground quick as a springy rebounder.
