Nicolas Codie

What stands out about Codie is that he fits the physical profile of a modern day four man. He can really run the floor; he moves pretty well laterally and he has the ability to play facing the basket. No. he’s not yet a prolific shooter from deep, but he does make enough from beyond the three-point line to keep defenders honest. He is also starting to develop the ability to attack of the dribble.

Around the rim he is able to use his quickness and length to his advantage, he has good anticipation as a rebounder and good hands. He’s a quick leaper who can catch and finish lobs and while he’s not your traditional help side shot blocker, he is capable of providing some rim protection.

The biggest keys for Codie will be that he really embraces the weight room, keeps refining his overall skill package and then figures out to best way to marry his ability to play both inside and facing the rim. As the son of a former pro athlete, he’s been able to grow up understanding what it takes to succeed at the highest level.
