Paul Nelson brings Yale real interior depth with rebounding and rim protection

Paul Nelson profiles as a classic **glue-guy center** for Yale: in the 2009-10 season he started a career-high 19 games and finished tied for fifth in the Ivy League in rebounding at 5.5 per game, while current stat lines from ESPN show a modest but efficient role (2.8 points, 2.3 rebounds, 49.8% FG). He stands out for his interior presence, reliable board work, and blocking/paint impact rather than high-usage scoring, which makes him a sensible fit for teams that value size, physicality, and low-mistake frontcourt play.[6][2][1]
