Let's talk Niko

Dude has been absolutely killing it. I think he deserves his own thread. I've been pandering for a stretch 4 to play behind Zion, but I think we've already got that guy on the roster. His defense and shooting has been great, he no longer looks like a pure rookie out there, rather he looks like a seasoned vet. Great pickup by Langdon.

He has been very strong lately. Lots of guys who bring different things to the table on this team with versatility.

I like Nico. He has a nice touch from 3 and he will make teams pay for doubling Zion

Niko as the only healthy center on the roster = revolving door defense and taking shots away from scorers
Niko as backup big = aggressive defense and adding shooter to second unit

Reminds me of Joe Ingles with less facilitating abilities. I love what he could become

Yeah, he was unplayable for the first couple of months of the season, but he's found his groove and I now am excited when he subs in.

It’s not a coincidence what’s happening

This good version of him reminds me of the former Niko
Posted on 1/31/20 at 10:23 pm to GynoSandberg
Yeah and the bad version of him does as well.
Nico has been on fire though. A player like him is in theory a perfect compliment to Zion.

Joe Ingles would kill for that hair.

I don't think Ingles cares one way or the other. He is a very funny dude. He was on JJ's podcast. He is a very interesting character. 
GREAT WIN, PELICANS!!

We are healthy and everyone has finally been slotted into their proper roles. We are finally seeing the depth of talent we thought we would have at the beginning of the season.

His game is improving. He seems set when he gets the ball to shoot or make a quick pass. Looking good.
Posted on 1/31/20 at 11:45 pm to Soggymoss
His name is Nico, not Niko
Posted on 2/1/20 at 6:15 am to LilWezyAna
Same difference, so used to typing it with a K
Posted on 2/1/20 at 7:00 am to Soggymoss
Nico has been playing great ball,
but hearing the name sort of makes me nostalgic for Niko

Let's talk Nicolo Melli. Since getting four DNPs earlier this month, Melli is doing 16.6 points, 6.2 rebounds, 2.5 assists on 61.2/56/100 per 36, with a net rating of +7.2. He's looked more confident and more comfortable exploiting mismatches and with his shot.

I am always surprised about his quickness and dribbling ability when he puts the ball on the floor.
