Summary
The Knicks just drafted a pure shooting threat in Tyler Nickel, a Vanderbilt forward who shot 40% from three on over 270 attempts last season. With a quick release, elite spacing, and the ability to shoot off the dribble or off a hop, Nickel can stretch the floor and keep defenses honest — even when defenders close out. He’s also a smart passer and ball protector, with minimal turnovers. While his defense needs work — especially against quicker guards — his shooting fits perfectly with Brunson and Towns, and Coach Brown’s system. If he stays disciplined on defense, Nickel could surprise everyone and earn more minutes than expected as a second-rounder. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
