#14 Bill Nigut

BIO: The highly touted Nigut joins the X-Blades for the 2006-07 season after being selected #1 overall in the 2006 PRUMC Rookie Draft and will provide immediate help in the post...A dominant one-year stint on the Westminster junior varsity team had scouts raving about his physical interior play, powerfully built frame, and soft shooting touch...Reunites with X-Blades F Grant Bailey and G Ed Moak, former teammates on the 2004 PPC Spring League "Blue" squad...Son of Channel 2 Action News political reporter Bill Nigut...Off the court, he continues his truly extreme lifestyle: he's an avid skateboarder with X Games aspirations.

SCOUTING REPORT: Likely to become PRUMC's most effective and intimidating inside presence this year...Long, muscular arms and phenomenal vertical leap make him a force to be reckoned with on both the offensive and the defensive glass...Finishes strong in the paint with a variety of post moves and is liable to drop double digits on any given night...A legitimately frightening shot blocker- reminds many onlookers of Dikembe Mutombo...Somewhat injury-prone, but enters the season fully healthy...Nigut appears to be the "missing link" that kept the X-Blades from a championship last year.
