Mediocre big man. Can't score that well, but he cleans up the boards.

one the best ever!

ROCK CHALK JAYHAWK GO KU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i am the biggest ku fan ever you can never beat us!

dont like him

if you DONT give this guy 5 stars, you're messed up. he rocked and totally killed that dukie he stepped on in 2003 NCAA tournament..hehe and as for the one who said he couldnt make anything outside of 10 ft., he can shoot threes sometime. well, a lot of the time acutally

You want rebounds...you got rebounds. You want scoring...you got scoring. You want a kid that plays within a system and lets the game come to him...you got it! He's everything a coach could ever dream of...and more!

Kansas should have never lost that game to Syracuse. I would have won $100 bucks in the pool. Collison and Hinrich should have been unstoppable. If they would have had Lee, it would have been over.

If you pay attention you will notice that nick shot a good percentage from the 3 pt line this year and he isnt sitting in front of a PC reading this right now, he is working on his game. Nick is a great player and as a rokie has better footwork than most big men in the NBA, he is also a relentless rebounder and a hard nose ball player. Also he is extremely intelligent of the game and when he is a sucess in the league a lot of people will have thier foot in thier mouths especialy espn's chad ford. I am a D1 college ball player myself, not for a school as big as Kansas (savannah state) but i am from NYC and i play against professionals every summer and Nick is ready for that level and he knows it, soon everyone will also.

Tough competitor, great rebounder. Has to learn how to hit free throws. Melo showed him up.

Nick's a great post-player. He's got crazy moves downlow in the paint. He's got soft hands & has incredible control of the ball. I think he'll do well in the NBA because of his experience. He's played w/ some NBA players in the summer cause of USA basketball & I think if he uses that experience as a tool he'll be one of the most dominant rookie players in the NBA.

Nick Collison is going to be one of the greatest COLLEGE basketball players to ever play. He knows the fundamentals and isnt a showoff. About the NBA, he could surprise me but unless he starts taking steroids to make him taller he may not be as great as he's hyped up to be. But hey, it gives Kansas another great guy to brag about.

Bottom line: cannot make a jumper beyond 10ft . There is no way a PF at 6'9" will make it in this league when all of your points came in the paint in college. Rated somewhere between 35-45 in this draft.

Wow....I mean seroiusly, WOW!! Nick Collison is just about as All-American as you can get. He plays so hard and with such heart. Just by watching him play you can tell he is a Jayhawk!! I wish him the best of luck in the NBA!! GO NICK!

nick is so awesome!!!! i saw him play on his barnstorming tour, and it was awesome how easy he made it look!!!!he really one of the best players i have ever watched play and hope i can meet him again someday because he is so hott!!!!!;)

Won't be near as good in the NBA as he was in college...he's still a stud though

Nick is the most domianint post player in the NCAA. He is the best fudamental player and has the best foot work in the leauge. He can also shoot the jumper and has an great outside shoot for a post man.

nick's awesome!hes got great post moves and ball handling skill for a forward.he can also sometimes come out and shoot the three.and i also can't wait to see him in the NBA!i hope i get to meet him someday!I also love you nick!

I DON'T WANNA ACT OBSESSED WITH NICK, BUT I THINK HE IS THE BEST POWER FORWARD I HAVE EVER SEEN PLAY. I NEVER WAS INTO COLLEGE BASKETBALL UNTIL I FIRST WATCHED HIM AS A SOPHOMORE. AT FIRST HE WAS PRETTY GOOD, BUT AS SOON AS BECAME A JUNIOR AND SENIOR HE WAS IN THE SPOT LIGHT ALONG WITH KIRK AND GOODEN. THEY HAD THEIR BAD DAYS, BUT ALL AROUND THEY ARE THE BEST. I HAVE NEVER SEEN A TEAM PLAY SO GREAT TOGETHER, LIKE THE LA LAKERS. NICK DESERVES ALL THE ACHEIVEMENTS HE HAS RECEIVED, AND I BELIEVE THAT IT'S NOT THE END FOR NICK COLLISON. I KNOW HE'LL MAKE IT TO THE NBA AND HE'LL DO WELL. NOT ONLY IS HE THE BEST AT SHOOTING UP CLOSE, BUT HE'S GREAT AT DEFENSE AND BLOCKING SHOTS FROM THE OTHER TEAMS, AND GREAT WITH ASSISTS. I'VE MET HIM A COUPLE OF TIMES, BUT IT'S JUST NOT ENOUGH. HE IS A BIG INSPIRATION IN MY LIFE AND I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE HIM ON THE BIG SCREEN AGAIN, I LOVE YOU NICK . . . MICHELLE (COME BACK TO HUTCH, KS)

Nick Collison is yes the best basketball player! He is very good and he is not one of these cocky players who shows off everytime they make a basket.I think that he should be in the top 10 for the NBA Draft. Not to mention he is omg HOTT! Just because KU lost to SU, I still think that KU is the best basketball team going out there! Thanks to nick of course ;) cant forget about kirk either! and i cant wait to meet u nick! I LOVE YOU!

Great all around player . . . what more is there to say?

Nick is a great basketball player defensively & offensively. He shows great sportsmanship as well as kirk. He is a wonderful shooter and can shoot from anywhere on the court.he always has ways to improve his game and always gives it his all. He's cute too:)

He is great. Him on the inside and Hinrich one the on outside, they are incredible! I think he is a great all around player not only in the paint, but on defense as well so those nice little jumpers that he can hit and make everything look so easy. I really admire his decision to stay at Kansas and finnish out his schooling before he went to the NBA. That shows alot about him. He is awesome!

Nick is my 2nd favorite basketball player (1-Hinrich). He is awesome on offense and defense. He can do all these moves to get around the defense in the paint. He pretty hot too.

Nick is a true student of the game, always looking for ways to improve. He gives 110% every time he plays.

yes, nick collison is a really great player... and he's a human, we can't expect him to be perfect. so, he made a lot of careless mistakes at the final 2 game... i know he is very disappointed in that... but it doesnt make him any lesser of a player. he gave all what he has during his 4 years of college. i admire that. Nick will always be my favorite. and not to mention, he is cute, too. *grins*

Nick Collison is amazing. He truely is an all-american. I feel that he was overlooked on some awards that he definately deserved. He's a consistently great player and he's so versatile for a big player. And he's SO CUTE! I just love him to death.

nick collison is by far one of the greatest basketball players to walk the face of this earth! so what if ku lost to the orangemen? it doesnt matter because KU and Syracuse supporters both know what the truth is and that is that KU had a very off night, had bad defense and okay offense but they didnt give it their all. if they would have shown more aggresion earlier in the game and made 52% of their free throws than they would be the champs. but in my heart and theirs we know they are the best.

Nick is a great player. He's very level-headed and doesn't put on a show. He doesn't need to put one on to get attention. He gets enough with his talent.
