 | Brett Nelson 6’3” 182 Point Guard Florida Gators Junior Birthdate: October 22, 1980 St. Albans High School, WV |
Weaknesses: Needs to add a lot of strength before he is ready for the NBA. Isn't a physical player and will have a difficult time against bigger guards in the NBA. Not an outstanding on the ball defender but isn't horrible. Still needs to improve some on playing under control and limiting the turnovers. Won't be a dominating offensive player in the NBA, so he is going to be more of a "true" point guard. Not a horrible athlete but isn't in the elite class of NBA PG's in terms of athleticism. Has a tendency to pick up dumb fouls on the perimeter going for steals. Plays a lot of wing guard in college so he will have to adjust to scoring from in the point in the NBA. Outlook: Behind the flash Nelson is a terrific point guard. He may not be as athletic as the NBA's Jason Williams but he is taller and a better shooter. Has a good NBA future with his play making skills and outside shot. Likely a mid-first round pick in 2002 but a lot of his draft status will be determined by underclassmen point guards declaring early for the draft. If he stays for his senior year at Florida he could go as high as the late lottery. |
