Nico is a seasoned vet who played a significant roll on a team that won and regularly competed for the Euroleague championship.
If anything, his time in NO should be the anomaly.
No disrespect to the Euro league or Nico here. I said he's come long way in short time from a guy who many considered a salary matching throw-in in a trade for JJ Redick. That's how far he's come in the minds of Media and Fans.
Right away he got minutes and showed that he intends to be more than a throw-in while the Mavs wait for JJR. That's to his credit because plenty of guys have games that work in the Euro league but not so much in the NBA.
