Matt Nelson

Nelson woke up this week to show that he still has a pulse and some kind of interest in being drafted. The enigmatic big man has regressed in most parts of his game this year, looking slower and less motivated than he did last season and the year before, but he did manage to stay healthy all season, which is an accomplishment in itself. In his last game for Colorado State on senior night, Nelson left fans with a good taste in their mouths, scoring 31 points to go along with four blocks (both season highs) and seven rebounds. He has been wildly inconsistent for most of the year, but a guy with his size and decent touch around and away from the basket is going to get looks no matter what. He will probably be invited to Portsmouth (we’re assuming), and it would definitely be in his best interest to accept, based off what we’ve seen of him this season so far.
