​Offensively, Nevels is a highly efficient scorer from the midrange inward.

While his inside-the-arc game is highly advanced for a rising. Senior, expanding his range and consistency from the three-point line will be the key development area that can elevate his recruiting ceiling from a regional target to a high-major prospect. Nevels is a high-upside two-way guard who plays with a motor. If the perimeter jump shot catches up to his elite midrange scoring and defensive instincts, he will be a handful for defenses next season.

He is a problem and will be ready for the next round.
