Early on he showed little love for contact, but by the end of the season he'd come to embrace it. He still has a ways to go, so I'm not gonna count out Nielson just yet. He works hard, who knows? If I'm him, I certainly work hard on my post skillz even if it's not my most natural game.

All our 6'10"+ guys are too raw to exalt any one at this point--or write of any one, for that matter. Kaufusi's in the driver's seat at this point, but if I'm Nielson I see no reason to throw in the towel just yet. He's still longer than Kaufusi, & still has a much better outside shot than Kaufusi.

Good points.

mutu.
