Gonzaga Super Pitcher will represent the Mavericks in Summer United. Is he the team worthy of attention?

According to Gonzaga University reporter Theo Lawson, a senior backcourt player Nolan Hickman, who previously played for Gonzaga University, will represent the Dallas Mavericks in the next NBA Summer League game.

Hickman was born in May 2003 and is 22 years old, 188cm tall and weighs 86kg. He is the undraft in this year's NBA draft. In the NCAA field this season, Hickman made a total of 35 appearances for Gonzaga, of which 34 were the starters, with averaging 29.7 minutes per game, averaging 10.9 points, 2.4 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 1 steal, 0.3 blocks, and 0.9 turnovers and 1.2 fouls. His shooting percentage was 47.8%, a three-point shooting percentage of 44.5%, and a free throw shooting percentage of 93.1%. With his outstanding performance, Hickman was shortlisted for the first team of the WCC League's Best Championship this season.

Hickman's playing time this season has decreased to a certain extent compared to last season, which has also led to some decline in his data. However, his offensive efficiency and three-point shooting percentage are very good. He can also maintain sufficient scoring ability while having few balls and shots. He also has certain passing ability and organizational ability. His performance on the defensive end is also quite standard. However, Hickman is indeed a little shorter in terms of figure. His passing and organizational ability are not ideal as a No. 1 player. He has not made further improvements in his ability this season. These factors have led to his unsatisfactory draft and have made him a undraft. However, Hickman has outstanding shooting ability. His three-point shooting percentage has exceeded 40% in the past two seasons, and he is definitely a top pitcher in the NCAA arena.

From the Mavericks' perspective, Hickman is also a player that the team should focus on in the next summer league. Although he is just a undraft pick, he is a player with relatively balanced abilities in all aspects and has some specialties. In the next summer league, if Hickman can prove that he is capable of taking on more responsibilities on the offensive end and ensuring sufficient competitiveness on the defensive end, I believe some teams will become interested in him. Hickman may not be able to log in to the NBA in a short period of time. But he also has the opportunity to get a training camp contract with Exhibit 10 and participate in the team's training camp and preseason games. He may also appear in the Mavericks' NBA Development League team Texas Legend's lineup next season?
