Yes you can. What do you mean by this?

I forget the exact age (22 or 23), but once a person reaches that age he is automatically eligible to be drafted by an NBA team.
Tony Parker ?? Batum ?? Diaw ?? Pietrus ?? better than any namewithoulupis in the end anyway
by the way bowen played some years in French
He is born in 1982. This has nothing to do with NBA draft. Plus he is AMERICAN.
French league is a joke. Even someone from France will agree.Tony Parker ?? Batum ?? Diaw ?? Pietrus ?? better than any namewithoulupis in the end anyway

You're an idiot.
WTF? Someone is saying he must declare for the draft or the Spurs can't get him. How the can he declare for the draft when he was born in 1982 dumbass
Thanks for agreeing with me then. What does being AMERICAN have to do with his draft status?
i think the point is that he has ben through the draft, but was not picked, thus hes is UDFA.
thanks for the info

Nice and welcome!! He seems good
I Think, he had never drafted because before he is not very good, but now he progress, he progress . And this season, he is the best scorer of the FIBA Eurochallenge ...., this compe ion had many famoust players ( Earl Boykins, Jumaine Jones, Darius Washington )
for information, Nichols speak French ....
Not that hard guys like any other player who finishes their collegiate play-you prob go try and workout for a few teams, hope to get drafted. If not, you can do whatever you want. Go play in europe, go to the d-league, whatever. Guys free for any NBA team as long as he's not locked down by a contract on his french team...then as spurs fans know you have to pay the contract off if a team wants him that bad. If he's not under contract nba teams are free to inquire
I check rankings. French league is officially rank as #10 best domestic league in Europe over last 5 seasons by ULEB. When you count regional league like Baltic and Adriatic also which ULEB does count them, French league is rank as #12 domestic league in Europe over last 5 seasons.Tony Parker ?? Batum ?? Diaw ??

This guy Nichols looks very interesting. I just found out about him on 48MoH. Tim Varner has spoken to him and says he seems like a perfect Spur. Hopefully the Cavs don't get him since they invited him to a mini-camp as well.
His current coach says he's better than Pietrus. I say we sign him ASAP.
Crappy league indeed but fact is many great prospect players came, come and will come from this crappy league.
In that regard, the French league is one of the best in Europe.
It's actually a bit like our french soccer
After a certain amount of time, anyone is a free agent I believe.
Like when the Spurs signed Oberto.
This is where you can get something for nothing.
well, probably they have good connections in france, maybe because of TP. they went french with tp, it turned out great, so they are continuing. And face it, france is loaded with talent.

It's a nice article. Props to Tim.

That Varner doesn't know anything. He's just stealing from Bruno.
The rankings of European leagues have absolutely nothing to do with how well Nichols plays the game. The only thing you've said here is that you know nothing about the player this thread is about. One option would be to shut the up and learn something. Another option would be to try and hijack the thread with arguments about the Euro basketball leagues.
It's always the same tired old from you. If you want to talk about Spanoulis, or Bourosis, or the ing Greek leagues, why not start yet another thread about them? That way we would always know where to look if we want to get into a pissing contest about which Euro team/player is best.
Is he now making more than the NBA rookie salary?
Sounds like a great guy. I like his at ude, anywho low risk potentially decent reward. Definitely gonna keep a watch on this guy
No. His salary is likely in the $150K area.
