Career potential: Nickles retains a very well rounded skill set. He can score but his true strength lies in his ability to pass. While his 5’10, 155 pound frame doesn’t fit the “norm”, Nickles plays like he is much bigger and contributes in all phases of the game. Many scouts see the true talent the kid has but feel he doesn’t always live up to it. With the right mind set, Nickles could be a very effective third or fourth liner at the pro level.
