Canada keeps rolling through the FIBA Americas Championship second round. And the Magic’s Andrew Nicholson finally got his chance to shine.
With Kelly Olynyk getting into foul trouble, Nicholson stepped in and more than took up the mantle. He scored 16 points, grabbed 10 rebounds and dished out six assists, even playing some decent defense, as Canada romped to a 102-82 win over Uruguay.
These are the games that make Nicholson so tantalizing. He can work the post and step out and hit jumpers so well. He hit all three of his 3-pointers and three of five shots inside the arc for Canada.
