efficient, reliable NC State frontcourt anchor with pro-ready size
At NC State, Chelsea Nelson stood out as a **steady, high-efficiency forward** who scored 1,000 career points and paired scoring with solid rebounding; in her 2017-18 season, she shot .455 from the field while averaging 4.9 points and 4.0 rebounds, and earlier that career she was producing 6.5 points and 5.0 rebounds in 16.2 minutes per game. Her value goes beyond box scores: she was known as a dependable, physical interior presence who stayed on the floor, scored in 32 of 33 games in 2017-18, and brought the kind of consistency coaches trust in a rotation fit.[1][4][7]
