Nelson averaged 11.5 points, 7.6 rebounds, 1.2 blocked shots and 1.6 assists per game in 2024-25. He is a 23 year-old forward that stands 6'10" with a 7'0" wingspan. Nelson is a low-percentage three-point shooter (28.7% 3-pt. fg career). He shot 73.3% FT (career). He has quick reactions but he is a below average runner/jumper by NBA standards. Nelson had more turnovers than assists (career). His DEFRTG was 2.3 better than the Alabama team DEFRTG due in large part to his good anticipation. He seeks contact to try to gain separation. Nelson jumped a 30" max. vert. at the 2025 NBA Draft Combine. Right handed. Nelson played five seasons of NCAA ball (three years at North Dakota St., two at `Bama.) Nelson will most likely go undrafted. We think if he can somehow raise the deep shooting percentage, he could potentially be a low-tier starter at some point.
