Nickeil finished the first round of the 3-pt competition with authority, collecting 23 points and separating himself by seven points from the next best shooter. In the second round UNC commit Jalek Felton took over and finished with the 3-pt crown, which is truly an accomplishment when you see the way Nickeil was shooting.

Hokies fans begun to salivate when they saw the performance put on by their future guard, while to people who are familiar with just how serious Nickeil is, this is just another day at the office for the young man.
