Andrew Nicholson showed promise as a scorer during his rookie season in 2012-13. Relying on an advanced array of low-post moves and an effective jump hook, he averaged almost 7.8 points per game and made 52.7 percent of his shots.
Then a strange thing happened during his second and third seasons: He drifted progressively farther from the basket on offense.
After he took 54.9 percent of his shot attempts within 10 feet of the hoop as a rookie, only 37.1 percent of his shot attempts came within 10 feet during his sophomore season, according to the NBA's official statistics database.
