    o,

    I'm a french supporter of a team ( Hyères Toulon var Basket ) and this morning, our newspapers says that Austin Nichols an American player who played 4 years ago in French will go the summer league with the team and the Spurs will be interested to remplace Bruce Bowen, HTV's coach thinks that Nichols is better than M.Pietrus ( Magic )

    Look the video of Austin Nichols

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HkOwqcM1kEY

    Their stats are more 23/pts

    If you want more explications about Nichols, say me

    Humboldt State. That would explain why I never heard of him. Stats look pretty decent, though.

    Yes of course but Humboldt State isn't a big college, and when he arrived in France, 4 years ago, he hadn't big stats ( only 11/pts the firt season ) but after he has worked many many, and he progressed particularly in the 3 points shot.
    His record this season it is 45 points,

    I know a little Austin and I can say that he is very discreet and very nice

    He can play Shooting Guard and other position,
    6-6 for the Height and 200 lbs.

    I Think this player can make win a match, i'm sure, for his defense, it's good but His main asset is the attack,

    Here are his stats from the D-League.

    http://www.basketball-reference.com/...ichoau01d.html

    It was some time ago, so the only thing it's really useful for is seeing how he fared with the NBA three point line. Can't say I remember him.

    Spurs spend much too much time scouting crappy French league. They need to start scouting in the actual good leagues in Europe like Spain, Adriatic, Russia, Greece, Italy, Turkey even Baltic league is much better league. Spurs scouts seem to be spend all their time in crap French league scouting.

    Can someone educate me as to how he enters the league? Does he have to enter the draft? We can't just offer him a contract, right?

    He was never drafted. that means he is a free agent like any other player. He is American and was never drafted and he is born in 1982. He is like any free agent.

    But when someone enters the league they have to enter via the draft, right? You can't just declare yourself a free agent.
