You took the positive numbers to make your point

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

gurt

2/8/16 9:44pm

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

He just has to learn to not jack up crap shots. That will come with experience.

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