That is the dirty little secret that you people just don't get.
Deep down. Nichols is not very good at playing the sport of basketball at the High Level Division 1. He was clumsy and he was a butter fingers...NO GREAT basketball player at this level blames his coach....
My personal take .... A lot of you fans on this site had a little white guy fetish over this .... But you should get over it ....
I wish Nichols well, but he just wasn't very good at playing basketball at this level.... He would probably be a great Division 2 player though, where he could play against other players like him, if you know what I mean.;
You people probably all went to his high school and saw him play against "similar" people ................... and that mislead you in your thinking about his actual talent for playing the game of basketball..................................................
Once again, Austin Nichols was not up to this level
To say CJP is not a very good coach for Memphis would be accurate. To say Nichols can't play is asinine. No need to root for the Cavalier's for neither statement to be true. Good luck with whatever you are trying to convey.
But he will never be a great player on the high Division 1 Level....
Too slow, too jittery....................................
If he was really good, he would have led a team to the NCAA Tournament last year ..... Oh, I forgot that was Pastner's fault .... Your little white fetish kid had no responsibility in that ..............
Nichols is a great player on so many levels. Plenty of time to develop into more of what the NBA wants...if that's what he decides to do. And why not? It's a good gig if you can get it.
Don't think he will ever play in the NBA. You have to be exceptional to play in the NBA. He's a good college player and not an All-American. I wish him well, but he needs to paid attention in class and get a degree.

Man that's depressing. I never realized just how much the other players on our team truly suck. Considering Nichols was the best player on our team, and he cant play, it's sad to really let it sink in how bad Shaq and Kedren and Markel and the rest must REALLY suck
In all seriousness, the original post in this thread is among the dumbest of the ones not by Mimi in the history of MT.org

This reminds me of the people who say Kobe sucks and Lebron sucks because they don't like him personally. It's just silly and makes u look foolish and immature to say Austin is not a division 1 level player? Lol that is absurd really. He may not be a first round NBA played because his game doesn't translate to the Nba but he is a great college basketball player. The guy was by far our best player any reasonable person can see that. U notice how we fell apart down the stretch? That's because we were missing our best player. U have to be able to remove yourself from the emotions and look at it objectively otherwise u look like a butt hurt homer.
