2003 Stats

NBA Comparison:

NBA Comparisons:

Optimistic Outlook: Tim Hardaway
Pessimistic Outlook: Khalid El-amin

Positives: Strong, poised, heady, explosive. He has great basketball instincts and leadership on the court. Runs his team so well and often wills the team to victory. Very determined. Excellent at penetrating through the defense and finishing with authority. Very strong and uses his strength to his advantage so well when exploding through the lanes. Great court vision and excellent passer. Great ball handling skills and is exceptionally quick. Improving outside shooter. Good rebounder for a point guard. Although he is an excellent scorer, he still loves to get his teammates involved.

Negatives: Critics cite his height being a problem, but Nelson uses his combination of quickness and strength to beat his opponents. Although he is improving his shot, could still use some work and shoot more consistently. Overall he is a smart player except when he takes those ridicously difficult turnaround fadeaway jumpers. He shoots these when he needs to space himself from taller defenders. I just don't see the point of him taking such hard shots that never go in.
