He's a beefier slightly more athletic Courtney Lee. If he settles in as a Lee type player, I'll take it.
He will not take alot of space on the bench for sure...if he is lucky , we might see him at the last 4 games of 2015 If he is talnted, he might have a few video with D12 on youtube
For a second round pick, Nick has plenty of upside. Doesn't really fit the mold of a proto 1 or 2, but he is a baller. He will find a place on the court to do his thing and contribute to a winning team, ala Cassell and Elie during our runs. He has the dna of DJ. I wouldn't bet against that dude.
He's a much more explosive athlete than I expected. I like the idea of surrounding Harden with some tough, physical defenders.

He's a pretty good looking guy. Is Chan The Man gonna have some competition for the most handsome Rocket award or is that silly for me to even bring up? Spoiler no homo Spoiler not that there's anything wrong with that
He's a second rounder, but he's a Morey second rounder, so expectations are high. He's probably the only draftee we will actually sign and late after July 10. He sounds like a valuable bench player. He's cheap when we have little to no cap room, he's versatile so he can cover a couple of back-up holes: point guard stopper: I can't emphasize how valuable he might be to come in and slow down some of the incredible PG's in the NBA on a night when they are going off, especially when Harden is doing the ball handling anyway. Between him and Beverly we might not be that great on the O at PG but we can effect the game. small ball: could play the 2 when we play small ball, he sounds like his athleticism and dunking skills could serve in transition and attacking the basket. Really taking over Lin's role for cheap.
Look at what the Spurs did with Danny Green. A man's shot can always get less broke. I wanna see 36% from the college line at least translate to 36% from the NBA line, and now that almost all his attempts should be catch and shoots, that number should even go up.
He shot 36.7 last year while being named to PAC-12 all defensive team and carrying the offensive burden for his team. The year before when his usage rate was lower he shot 39.3 from three!
