After a disappointing sophomore season, Nelson came alive as a junior in leading St. Joseph’s to the NCAA Tournament. He is quick and strong, using his strength to go in and get rebounds, and generally good on the ball defensively. He is a good distributor of the ball and a good floor leader who doesn’t shoot the ball exceedingly well and is more of a scorer than a shooter. He is already the all-time assists leader at St. Joseph’s.
Nelson is a borderline first round draft pick, and at this time is contemplating whether or not to stay in the draft or return to St. Joseph’s.
