Nichols leaves the University of Memphis, where the saga of his transfer caused no shortage of drama (or attorney's fees). In 2014, the junior averaged better than 13 points and 6 rebounds a game for the Tigers. He was the 22nd overall player in the country coming out of high school and 7th best power forward.
