Sounds like a Spur to me. Sign him up.

I only like him because Tim wrote about him. Bandwagon!

*ahem

Let it be known that I was the first PtR member on this bandwagon, thank you very much. Check the FanShots section. Oh, wait…. by Tim, you didn’t mean me? damnit.

There is a little problem here, though. We aren’t the only team that drafts from Europe, and we don’t pick until the 2nd round. If he’s as good as he seems, don’t hold your breath on seeing him in Silver and Black.

Austin is not from Europe. He’s just plays in Europe and he’s already seen time in the D League for 2 years. He’s not going to enter the draft. He’s hoping he can impress either Cleveland or SA in the summer camps.

A lover of defense? Who plays it well? And can shoot? Who is humble? And likes to work?

Haha, these redundant summers have left you jaded. Last year at this time you were so full of hope, now…. just death. Let it be known that there is a standing open invitation to the Austin Nichols bandwagon with your name on it.

I will admit intrigue after watching his Youtube mix.

But then I remembered that with the only proof of greatness being a Youtube mix, Mark Madsen is a certain HOFer. Nichols looks too much like Finley to me (since I have yet to see his “virus-like defense”), and the ringing endorsement of the great Daniel Horton doesn’t exactly leave me quivering.

But stranger things have happened. I mean, we actually played Pops for awhile, right?

…until we discovered that he couldn’t (or wouldn’t) play defense. Too bad, b/c he’s extremely talented.

check it out

I play hoops in the summer with this guy who currently plays for Hyeres-Toulon Var Basket of the French A League. dude usually starts showing up at my gym over the summer – in June. I’ll have to ask up about this new potential Spurs fella.

I’m always skeptical about these off the radar guys when it comes to baskeball, but his skills certainly seem compatible with what our Spurs seek – Sadly, Cleveland is now targeting the same kinds of guys. I noticed in the article that he is attending one of their camps as well.

Well if Cleveland is looking at him then that’s a vote of confidence on his game. I’d be more upset is Sac, the Clips and the Timberwolves were inviting him to camp.

I’m not even sure if it’s a vote of confidence so much as Ferry watching our moves, then mirroring them whether he even understands them or not.

Come to think of it, you’re probably right. Everybody wants to be a Spur, nobody wants to be a Spur. you know what I’m sayin. . .

No, CMoney, I don’t know what you’re saying.

All you did was put two completely contradictory statements back to back. Ok, you also italicized them — but that’s all you did. Let me show you how easy it is:

Everybody loves CMoney, nobody loves CMoney.

See, that’s what you did. Makes no sense at all…

Well everything sounds and looks good but I’m not on the bandwagon just yet. Playing against guys who are a step slower and a lead a notch lower (ooh good ryhme) will make some guys look better than they’ll be in the NBA. Even Manus international play highlights are Sicker than his NBA highlights. But what I do like about this Nicols guy is his shot has awesome form. Whether he is curling left or right his form is the same and he has good elevation on this shot. I like him but I’m not gonna say we should sign him just yet. But save me a seat next to JRW just in case.

SiMA, whispering something while thinking of CMoney just before you drop off to sleep doesn’t count. You have to actually type it into the “Post a Comment” box, and click on “POST”.

No, “PREVIEW” isn’t good enough.

i don’t know about his all-around game, but his catch-and-shoot coming off the curl looks very nice. and if he plays defense like it’s reported, then he’s a perfect replacement for Finley. i will be interested to see what he brings in camp.
