LAS VEGAS -- There were a number of intriguing matchups on the second day of action in Las Vegas as well as a bevy of outstanding performances. Michigan-bound shooting guard Zak Irvin (Indianapolis/Hamilton Southeastern) got the day started off strong with his deep shooting and athletic prowess at the adidas Super 64, while ESPN 100 PF Austin Nichols (Collierville, Tenn./Briarcrest) wowed the coaches and scouts alike with his high-level footwork and scoring savvy at the Fab 48.
Austin Nichols
2013, PF, 6-8, 215 pounds
Nichols is one of the most skilled big men in the country. He has great feet, pterodactyl-type length and quite the offensive arsenal at his disposal. He tossed in shots over both shoulders and caught a couple of high-level lobs in transition as well. He has great timing around the rim and blocked a number of shots due to his length. North Carolina, Virginia, Florida, Memphis, and Tennessee have been quite visible at his games.
