In addition to the great points brought out in Brad Franklin's and David Teel's articles, I'm pretty excited about the impact Austin Nichols' will have on the upcoming 2015/2016 season. I remember Tony saying a few years back when we were depleted due to several injuries, that the biggest impact not having his injured players available was in practice - that it was hard for his guys to stay sharp when they had to practice against the walkons and Jason Williford (no offense, Jason.) What a bonus it will be for our bigs to have to go up everyday in practice, on both ends of the floor, against a guy the caliber of Nichols! I look for this to especially help Anthony Gill as well as the younger guys. With the graduations of Darion and Akil the past two years, replacing their defensive ability in practice is huge!
