Fantasy Analysis
Nelson did manage a career high in assists (5.6 apg) and rebounds (3.5 rpg), but once again had to deal with the possibility of losing his starting job at times during the season. It's time to stop expecting a breakout season out of Nelson, but he'll still be a solid value in the middle-to-late rounds come Draft Day because he likely will have more upside than the other guards available in that point of your Fantasy draft.
