Physical, score-first Braves guard who brought edge and shot-making
In the 2012-13 season, Anthony Nieves averaged 11.6 points and 3.3 rebounds for Alcorn State, with a career-high 24 points against Texas Southern and praise from his coach for smoothly shifting from shooting guard to point guard[1]. He stood out as a 6-foot-4, 185-pound backcourt piece who could score first, space the floor with his three-point shot, and play with energy and intensity[1][15]. If a team wanted a seasoned guard with confidence and offensive punch, Nieves looked like a useful fit—especially as a lead-guard option with some physicality and swagger[1][15].
