He is a kid that wants to win more than anyone else. Not passing in situations like you describe has more to do with trying to do to much for the team. There is a time to take on a scoring load and a time to make the pass---understanding when to to each only comes from experience. Nick is 2nd on the team in assists and has far less turnovers than KC, Fischer---he needs to know when to take his foot off the gas and move the ball and when to be selfish and score---experience, experience, experience.
