Latest Fantasy Rumors
Falling out of first round?
GIowa Wolves   G League (Timberwolves)
June 30, 2021
Nix was one of the notable disappointments at the NBA Draft Combine in Chicago, according to Jeremy Woo of SI.
ANALYSIS
A well-regarded high school prospect, Nix spent the season with the G League Ignite but delivered a disappointing campaign, averaging just 8.8 points with 5.3 assists and 5.3 rebounds per contest. Scouts were hoping that he could make a positive impression at the Combine, but Nix struggled during five-on-five play and didn't do much to change any opinions. He also weighed in at 225 pounds -- a hefty number for a 6-4 point guard - though he did test fairly well athletically. As of now, Woo notes that Nix likely "profiles as a second-rounder."
