Riding the pine...if that means Nichols does not start, you are right. Nichols was drafted/traded for to come in off the bench, be an outside threat and disrupt opposing teams....he will be brought in too s..t..r..e..t..c..h out opposing defenses.
If he is open he will shoot the rock, and score in bunches, if he is guarded properly he will pass it into our guys in the middle....
He will, I think be brought in for short bunches of minutes to disrupt opposing teams defensive flows....I look forward to him being a 2nd/3rd option of the bench, brought in, disrupt, shoot, pass disrupt
He will not be in Europe. If the Knicks don't want him, he will find a home in the NBA somewhere....a 6'8" shooter at the 2 guard (who has a full range of sound fundamentals) and can get his shot off will not have to learn a foreign language.....
