Julian Nelson is a versatile athlete that brings a lot to the game. He is a threat from anywhere on
the floor with or without the basketball.
He has the ability to beat his defender off the dribble with either hand and has the uncanny
ability to defend the opposition’s best player positions.(1-3) Julian is a student of the game and
commits a lot of time in the film room. He is a great ambassador of the game on and off the court
contributing hours towards community service projects both while at Coker and professionally.
