Expert Analysis
Anthony Fortuna | Prep Hoops Scout
Nelson is a solid all around player who can do a little bit of everything. His best offensive trait is his ability to hit tough shots around the rim. Nelson can also bring it on defense and had the biggest “wow” moment on Saturday when he absolutely glassed a Knicks power forward going up for a lay-up. Expect to hear his name throughout the 2024-2025 season. He seems ready to help lead Sierra Vista back another deep playoff run.

83↑47 No player made a bigger jump than Nelson. The forward has improved a great deal over the last 12 months, and was rewarded with a huge jump in the rankings. The fluid running foward is good catching and finishing in transition, and has proved to be productive as a finisher around the basket.

Raved about Nelson over the Summer months, a strong high school campaign may await him. He’s big enough to defend interior players, and agile enough to guard wings. His ability to finish has increased, and he competes hard typically scoring by sprinting and finishing in transition. These traits applied to the season, will increase his breakout chances.

Nelson looks like he’s grown in both height and game. He’s added a couple of inches to his frame, and displayed a signature skill of slashing to the lane. Nelson has the size and skill to play either the forward spot or in the backcourt.

Nelson does a lot of things that get overlooked, as well as some that standout. He plays with a good defensive IQ and has shown that he can score the ball at the high school level.
