Matthew Nielsen

If not the best player in the NBL he's doing a fair imitation.

Has to be our best chance at gaining a spot in the NBA over the next 2-3 years.

Three words: Andrew. Bogut. Y'all.

Nielsen is a talented NBL player, but would get seriously owned, I'm talking 0\/\/n3d in the paint in the NBA. Maybe Europe.

Heheh Neilsen in the NBA..... HAHAHAHHAHA

Oh man would he get owned. I would definitely pay to see that though.

he's already played the most games ever as a king..

nbl mvp this season...
will be the next captain of the boomers..

In the NBA, probably not tall enough to play PF and doesn't have the range to play SF. But playing sensationally this season and almost a shoe-in for MVP.

Very good player. But not NBA material. I doubt anyone currently playing in the NBL would make it there considering Chris Williams couldn't. That said, I would've liked to have seen Simon Dwight have a go a few years ago.

He spent some time on the Spurs Summer team a few years ago, but he didn't get a great deal of playing time. Granted, he has improved alot since then.

Please tell me you're kidding.
No chance. There are far better players in Europe who are more likely to crack the NBA than Nielsen.

A great NBL player who can be a very good player in Europe but no chance in the NBA.

Had his chance when Charlotte offered him a guaranteed contract. Dwight said he wasn't ready and knocked it back.
