Expert Analysis
Devontae Cobb | Prep Hoops Scout
Sizable big with terrific length in the interior, consistently deterring shot attempts and altering passing angles. He excelled on the block and under the rim, carving out space with deep positioning and finishing with soft touch around the hoop. Comfortable passing out of the post with his back to the basket, especially when facing double teams, as he found perimeter teammates and kept the ball moving.

possessed dependable, soft hands and a natural feel as a finisher and connector. Nelson consistently secured tough passes in traffic, particularly off drive-and-dish feeds while diving into the paint and showed the body control and awareness to convert or keep the possession alive. A reliable interior presence with the motor to stay active around the rim.

is a big that can impact both ends of the floor with his versatility offensively and defensively. Offensively Theodore uses his physical presence to score points in the post, shoot over defenders at times from outside the perimeter and make a difference on the offensive rebounds becoming evident against Hustle Basketball Club 16U. Defensively he can make plays in the interior by blocking shots, contesting opponents at the rim, rebounding and being able to defend above the perimeter if needed.

A 6’7” low-post presence who wasted no time finding his shot. Nelson was quick to turn over his left shoulder, using his size and reach to finish over the top. He also looked to pass out of the post, facing up, pivoting, and showing the vision to hit open shooters on the perimeter. A classic big man with feel, footwork, and finesse.
