Nick doesn't need to be defended on this board. Everyone knows he's a freshman who has a lot of talent who will get better. But if you have watched the last 5 games or so you know he is not playing well and needs to play better.

You took the positive numbers to make your point

Haha. Chase is our leading scorer and plays a similar position.

Also I bet if you asked nick he would say he is not shooting well

gurt

My point was, he's shooting as good as Fischer and no one seems to be talking

Ok so maybe what you meant to say is

I think it's encouraging that our huge problem of a freshman is shooting as

True but leads the team in laying of eggs on big games.. By a large margin

^^^This!^^^ When he's not selfishly forcing shots, he's awesome.

I don't think he sees this as selfish. I think he really thinks those are going

Maybe, but forced shots deny teammates open shots. Bad shot selection is just a

Who on this team outside of Seljaas has good shot selection?

Dillinger

2/8/16 11:06pm

So true, but Emery & Fischer hurt the offense more w/ their bad shot selection.
