![]() North Dakota State used him a lot in pick-and-pop settings, and he can mix up screening angles, flip a screen or ghost. While he had some huge scoring games - twice going over 30 - one Summit League coach told The Athletic he doesn’t think he’s “an alpha male.” That coach predicted on a Top 20 team, Nelson would average eight to 10 points but “help them win a lot of games.” We see him more in the 12 to 15 ppg range. ![]() He averaged 17.9 points, 9.3 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 1.7 blocks this season. He shot 66.9 percent at the rim, per Synergy. He handles the ball really well for his size and has a nice hook shot on the move and is really good with long finishes at the basket. He’s a long and fluid athlete who was a constant mismatch in the Summit League. He does most of his damage inside 15 feet. He shot just 26.9 percent from 3 this season on 3.1 attempts per game and is a career 30.7 percent 3-point shooter. His shooting is the one area where he could really help his stock by returning, and that’s been the focus of his pre-draft preparation.

If Nelson decides to stay in school, he’ll likely have some heavy hitters coming after him. He ranked 75th on the latest big board and he received an invite to the Combine. Nelson has also declared for the NBA Draft and it’s possible he goes that route. Grant Nelson | 6-11 forward | Two years of eligibility | North Dakota State When players commit to new schools, they move from this list to our list of top fits. Buckle up, it should be an eventful ride. This year, there is a window for players to make their decisions, as they must enter the transfer portal by May 11 to be eligible next season. We’ll update this constantly, taking off players as they commit to their new schools and adding on new players as they hit the portal. So who are the best talents available? That’s where this list, now in its third season, comes in. There’s no better way to quickly rebuild a roster in 2023 - just ask UConn, Miami, San Diego State and Florida Atlantic, all of which used the portal to supplement their rosters or Kansas State, which made the Elite Eight with a roster entirely made up of transfers.
