It's not Tilmon vs. Nikko, it's Dru vs X at lead guard.

It appears that some on Tigerboard have become delusional and now believe that Nikko is superior to Tilmon. The answer is a resounding NO!
Nikko and the team have played better because X has become the lead guard and his penetration, quickness, ability to feed post, and ability to lob over the top has made Nikko look better than ever. Note Nikko play has improved greatly as X has played more. This past Wed. was a perfect example.
Nikko scores were on lobs from X, enty passes from X, or when X pushed the ball and team had an advantage due to the floor being open and defense could not set up. When Dru was lead guard Nikko the offense was stagnate and Nikko did not look as good.
Tilmon was on the floor with Dru mostly due to X's foul trouble. The offense was stagnate and slow. Tilmon's 2 scoring opportunites were on passes from X, w/ one being a lob over the top (he was fouled and missed both FTs), other was angle pass.
Dru doesn't throw the ball over the top as well as X, doesn't have the quickness to push ball and keep defense on heels, and his penetration is limited as he gets to middle and teams do not help his man but stay at home which limits his options to mostly shooting.
Tigerboard only you would debate is Nikko superior to Tilmon.
