5’5” 2029 Eli Nelson (GRACE Christian)
Nelson was nothing short of impressive as he produced at a high level while being the youngest and smallest player in the game. He finished with 14p, 2r, & 2s in the loss. Despite his lack of size relative to his opponents, he was aggressive, physical, and tough on both ends of the floor. He hit shots at multiple levels, showcasing deep shooting range and great touch on his jumper. He’ll be a prospect to monitor as he continues to develop.
