In an ideal world his role increases as the season goes along...

But I think it'll start in a situational role ~10 min and have a ceiling ~20 min at the end of the year, so a total of ~15 min per game at season's end is a reasonable expectation. I could see them bringing him along slowly, or I could see them throwing him in the fire. Kind of just depends how he takes to the coaching from July to October.

How much of a role can we expect Nichols to play next year?
HokieHouse • 05/09/23 06:17 PM ET

Dime - maybe older brother?

I just can't wait for Nickel to succeed in the NBA.

Do you think Nickel can play meaningful minutes at the 3 this year?
win-tech • 05/09/23 09:19 PM ET
Will it come down to differences in UNC's system vs what VT does?
atlhokie1 • 05/10/23 02:17 PM ET
I think his playing time will depend on how quickly he picks up VT's system
win-tech • 05/10/23 05:32 PM ET
Whatever his minutes breakdown is it won't be solely for either 3 or 4
GCHokie34 • 05/09/23 09:56 PM ET
Wait, not 20 pts and 10 rebounds immediately???**
HwoodHokie • 05/09/23 09:09 PM ET
Don't forget the 8 assists/game.**
atlhokie1 • 05/10/23 12:46 PM ET
Being a unc man one would expect no less.**
