Head to head: Power(ful) forwards

Their main basketball power is the ability of scoring a lot of points. A lot! It's not a secret. They have already showed it plenty of times in this season... The names are - Danilo Nikolić and Quincy Miller!

Power forwards. The players on this position have indeed marked the 2015/16 season in ABA League. Tadija Dragićević of Budućnost VOLI was the top scorer, Kevin Jones of Partizan NIS came up just behind, Sava Lešić of Union Olimpija finished at the third place...

Among them are two more names who definitely belong to this list. After all, they will play in the ABA League Finals.

Danilo Nikolić of Mega Leks and Quincy Miller of Crvena zvezda Telekom!

Let's start with the younger one. Danilo Nikolić was one of the players who remained in Mega Leks from the previous season, but this time he had a much more significant role. He was given the position of the starting power forward!

Nikolič has immediately showed that he was ready to cope with the pressure. In the very first game of the Regular Season, he scored 17 points, had 8 rebounds and the overall index rating of 28. It was the game against Crvena zvezda Telekom...

Nikolić missed only one single match in the Regular Season (!!!), while he was averaging 10.5 points and 5.2 rebounds along the way. What is also interesting is that Mega Leks power forward had more shooting attempts for 3pts than for 2pts! Yes, he is a type of a player who likes to get out of the 3pts line, while if he gets in the right rhythm then he will most likely burn the net of the rival team.

His former club Budućnost VOLI have felt it on their skin, as Danilo Nikolić scored 4 three-pointers out of 6 attempts in the Game 1 of the ABA League semifinals and helped his Mega Lega leks make a huge break in Podgorica.

On the other side there will be Quincy Miller who is just one year older than Danilo Nikolić. American power forward arrived in Crvena zvezda Telekom before the 7th round of the Regular Season, but his real debut for the red and whites happened one week later in the 8th round... It was a dream debut.

Crvena zvezda Telekom defeated Partizan NIS in the Belgrade classic, while Miller was the top scorer in the winning side with 17 points. It was just the beginning of his tremendous journey in the red and white jersey.

Quincy Miller has become one of the key players of Crvena zvezda Telekom very quickly. He was averaging 11.5 points and 5.8 rebounds in the Regular Season, while he was especially brilliant in the Euroleague where he helped the Belgrade crew defeat some of the best clubs in Europe and reach the Top 8 stage!

And, he was hitting the TOP plays list every week.
