2017 NBA Manifesto
Andrew Nicholson
PF, 6’9, 250lbs, 27 years old, 5 years of experience
Very poor season in which he did not look like an NBA player. Gave up the post to pursue an outside game over the course of his career, yet 18.5% three point shooting is not getting it done. Has never excelled defensively and is a poor rebounding big, so at this point he is a stretch big that does not stretch. Really, really needs a bounce-back year.
Player Plan: Three years and circa. $20 million remaining. It is a bad contract, but it will get better when it gets shorter, so keep for now.

2013 Summer League rosters, Orlando Summer Pro League - Orlando
Andrew NicholsonNicholson scored the ball extremely well in his rookie season, showing terrific mid-range and post-up games for a rookie, and yet struggled so much on the other end that he almost fell out of the rotation at points after the trade deadline. Considering he lost these minutes to Tobias Harris, whose defensive problems have already been covered, this is a bit of a problem. Nicholson doesn't have the size or athleticism to be dominant defensively, and even average will be a struggle. He needs to get both stronger and quicker, as he's both outmuscled on the interior and blown past on the switch far too easily. His offensive efficiency, mid-range J, footwork and jump hooks will nonetheless keep him around for years, but don't settle for Othella Harrington. Aim higher.
2012 NBA Draft Diary
Pick 19: The first international player is taken, but not really. Orlando takes Andrew Nicholson from St Bonaventure, and Jay Bilas immediately launches into another detailed physical profile. I'm teetotal, yet even I'm getting drunk off of it now.
After Bilas is finished, we cut immediately to a commercial, which means Nicholson mustn't be here. (Seriously. Why wouldn't you go?) Upon returning, Jeff Van Gundy, unaware that the broadcast has started, can be overheard making an overdue joke; "his last name should be Meyers and his first name should be Leonard." I agree. And I think the same about Harrison Barnes.
