Carnal Decadence
Yea, if he played within the offense he'd be a nice asset.
If I see one more crossover, spin, fadeaway move from him though, I'll throw something.
Don't watch. Problem solved.

Nikita = a poor man's Hedo Turkoglu (when he was contributing), which is a good thing for this team
He's one of the only guys who gets physical with people and gets down low on offense to space the floor
I agree that Nikita could be a decent player if he played within himself. But I wish there was a lowlight reel of every single WTF NIKIITA play.... he has at least one a game. Behind the back pass to no one imparticular... spin move into three defenders, running into dribbling teamates, etc. It would be hilarious, even if slightly depressing at the same time. I will never forget his amazing execution of a 2 on 1 fast break last year. You know what I'm talking about, it was that bad.
Nikita is a poor man's Nikita. He's his own doppelganger of awful. I'd rather play five Shoemakers at once than one Nikita.
He has the skill-set of Hedo is more what I meant
Nikita has the skillset, he's just awkward as hell. That attempted spin move last night where he just bounced the ball off himself was so terrible.
Hedo is hardly one of the best in the world...but say Nikita 3's start falling and he gets more confident/better in doing what he can actually do (not what he thinks he can do)...tell me that wouldn't look just a little bit like Hedo
Exactly. Even now, he's slightly less horrible than he appears, because he does do some things well that don't get noticed -- on offense, he actually is in the right position most of the time. And he's pretty good on defense. He's the only guy on the team who actually bumps cutters.
