Draft Scouting Report

Summary

Nelson is a forward who played five seasons of college basketball — the first three at North Dakota State, the final two at Alabama. He’s a good athlete for a player his size. But his career 3-point percentage of 28.7% is an obvious area of concern.

About

Was 2022-2023 First team All-Summit League selection
Named 2020-2021 Summit League Six Man of the Year
Earned 2019-20 North Dakota Mr. Basketball

Strengths

Athleticism: Nelson’s athleticism is enough to where he’s comfortable driving and dunking in traffic.
Ball-handling: Nelson bounces it comfortably for a player his size, so much so that he can take the ball in transition or play one-on-one.

Weaknesses

Shooting: It’s hard to see Nelson sticking in the NBA unless he’s truly a threat from the 3-point line - and he just shot below 27.4% from 3-point range in three consecutive seasons.
Defense: Despite being a good athlete, Nelson has never shown himself to be a good defender - especially in space.
