Jordan Nelson’s game: pure perimeter juice for Evansville
In the 2011-12 and 2012-13 seasons at Evansville, Jordan Nelson was a reliable guard who played in 27 games each year and built his value as a perimeter shooter and floor spacer, with coach Marty Simmons calling him a “gym rat” and a “great perimeter shooter.” He wasn’t a volume scorer in those Evansville seasons, but his shooting touch, energy, and willingness to stretch defenses made him a useful fit for teams needing spacing, effort, and a low-drama guard who can plug into a system and raise the floor.
