...he had his moments last season (ie Utah game) and has way more talent around him this year than last. We don't need any ONE person to carry this team and my concern is that he will try anyways. I cringed watching him chuck up bad shots early in the shot clock or in late game situations last season. This season there are so many more options that we don't need ice cold streak shooters launching away from deep trying to shoot their way out (and shooting the team out of games in the process).

Nick is a nice player to have and I think is a better player when he's supporting the team and not trying to carry it. I hope our guards realize they have some inside talent that most teams will be challenged to deal with and are willing to kick the ball into the paint.
