believe nelson is going to benefit the most with another offseason and year under oats.
I think most transfers from mid-majors need 2 years to really shine. That, plus Nelson won't be asked to play the 5 spot much this year. If he could knock down 33% of his threes next year, he'd be invaluable.

Yeah, you could tell his confindence really suffered at some point when he realized the game was a little faster and more physical than he'd been accustomed to. He certainly got it back towards the end of the season.

Right before he committed last year I remember us specifically talking about his tendency to trail defensively against slashing guards.
That combined with his physical stature against big men really put him at a huge disadvantage this season, but if anything hopefully it helped him to understand the nuances of the stretch-four position even more, such as how to better open up driving lanes for teammates, for example (because he should better understand what the five is supposed to be doing).
