Spikes Nigel
Profile
Nigel is a physical and tough Center similar to that of Othello Hunter. He has a really solid structure and is a big force in the middle of the paint. He is a tremendous blocker because of his long wingspan and protects the rim at a very high rate. He is very hard to move and the only way to get through Nigel is to pass the ball to another player.
