veteran Davidson captain with elite efficiency and calm shot-making
In the 2012-13 season, Nik Cochran gives Davidson a savvy, steady backcourt presence: he is a senior captain, a 6-3 guard, and one of the most efficient free-throw shooters in program history with a career .874 mark, second only to Stephen Curry at Davidson. He’s a good fit for teams that value composure, experience, and low-drama shot creation over flash; he can stretch the floor, handle pressure, and make winning plays. The biggest differentiator is his reliability — a polished veteran who has already delivered in high-leverage moments, including a 21-point game in an upset of No. 12 Kansas.
