EVALUATION

STRENGHTS	WEAKNESSESS
tremendous size for position. Strong build. Very mature physically for his age group. Good leaper versitale and multipositional. Combo guard & forward in one good capitain. Instructs the teammates a lot. Sets the tone for the team’s offense very good court vision. Patient and advanced passer. Excels at pick and roll settings instinctual defender. Gets into the passing lanes. Knows when to gamble for a steal and when not to do that tremendous rebounder considering he plays as a guard most of the time	questionable as a shooter. Technique is not ideal. Will air-ball from open spot at times below average explosiveness. Has problems getting by athletic defenders. Creates own shots occassionally short wingspan a lot of incosistencies in his game – commits way too much turnovers for the guy who wants to be a leader not so good moving off the ball in half court sets. Moves more than veteran than teenager
OUTLOOK
Nikolic is unique point forward who aspires to be a full time playmaker. He has a lot of tools to achieve that goal but needs to improve shooting skills, quickness and eleminate some of the bad habits. Acclaimed by many as a High Major prospect but was not always able to prove himself on the big events. His style is not perfectly suited for uptempo game and extremely athletic competition so adjustment to the College basketball may not be an easy one for him.
