PG • 6’4, 225 lbs; 2nd year, G League Ignite
UNDERDOG
NBA ROLE: (RAW) SKILLED SHOT CREATOR
Daishen Nix’s gained a lot of confidence to start his career: already experienced success in the G League - began w/ the Ignite in 2020, played a huge role in Rio Grande Valley’s G League Championship win in 2022; sized PG (6’4, 225) with a lot of driving and pull-up skills - likes to go hard to the cup, uses strength to his all the way inside (does well with a lot of short, two-handed shots in the paint; good shooter w/ some range - Nix made almost 2 triples/night in the G League last season (hit them at an impressive, 39% clip) - has to maintain the same efficiency shooting around screens in the league; looks to create plays on defense, wants to disrupt the other team’s offensive flow and run the break; pro instincts as a decision-maker (could make his greatest impact as a secondary playmaker) - steady assist man who’s learning how to value the rock better on the fly; budding chemistry* w/ Usman Garuba; another young guard developing in Houston: backup minutes for Nix in 2023?
*the pair should see some minutes together to develop more lineup balance/cohesion
SIGNATURE! COMING SOON.
