Expert Analysis
Tony Roe | Prep Hoops Scout
Nagel (pictured) was the best player that I saw throughout the afternoon. Standing 6-5 and armed with the ball-handling and shot creation of a guard, he was dominant as a three-level scorer who uses his frame to his advantage against smaller defenders. He took the smaller guys onto the block and bullied them for buckets, and he took bigger, slower-footed defenders out on the perimeter and drove by them. In addition to his playmaking off the bounce, he showed that he can knock down shots from the arc off both the dribble and the catch, as well as a nice feel for the game, knowing when to attack and when to set his teammates up. And while he was absolutely fantastic on the offensive end, he was perhaps even more impressive defensively, moving his feet extremely well side-to-side against quicker guards and rotating over as a help defender and rim protector. An all-around dominant two-way showing for the 6-5 combo forward from Muscatine.
