Summary:
Nick Kern Jr. is a very athletic, energetic swingman that played at VCU before transferring to later play at Penn State. He is a high-motor player that excels at attacking the hoop to score the basketball, and is an active, rangy defender that can guard multiple positions, but he will need to improve his jump shot and take better care of the basketball. He will need to continue to hone his game, but he could project to be a defensive specialist in the NBA.
