Expert Analysis
Donald Tatum | Prep Hoops Scout
Nelson proved again why he is our top player and his 18 point, 10 rebound, 2 block performance is business as usual for the young hooper. Nelson works in and out of the post, making him a tough cover. He is patient around the rim and has elite footwork. He is a match up nightmare for players his size, and anyone smaller is going to need some help. Defensively he looks to intimidate and alters shots consistently. The loaded 2028 class is full of talent, but Nelson is the complete package and his growth playing in the post adds another element to his game that will solidifies his position.

Nelson is the number one player in his class for a reason. His blend of size and skill transcends state lines and will easily translate to the next level. He serves as a post presence on his roster, scoring 12 points in the game to promote a balanced offense, while still leading his team in scoring and rebounding. He is a next-level wing player, but his developing post skills make him an even more dangerous weapon. He is bigger and stronger than last season, and his commitment to winning basketball is clear. Team ball is the way of the future, and Nelson exemplifies the ultimate team player.

Nelson just buried his man on a duck-in and powered through contact—grown man finish. A couple of possessions later, he steps out and knocks down a trail 3 with a smooth release. It’s not just physicality; his skills are standing out fundamentally and creatively as well.
