Nikola came into the league with high promise to be the Center who could do it all. He could score from inside, drop 3's, rebound, and pass the ball decently for a center. He was to be the modern center that could do it all having everything he needed to succeed... or did he? Looking back now you can see that the Bulls failed to camp him in 3 of his most important seasons missing out on 9 possible camps. Probably the most damaging were the camps missed in his rookie season when he had higher potential. While his rookie, and sophomore season were his best you could see a decline happen in his 3rd season where he went to only 1 camp. The decline in stats despite keep his ratings at decent levels had to be bigger than the letter grades shown.
