Brett Nelson, Florida.

The pro scouts have been terribly eager to get their hands on Nelson, but his obvious skills often fail to translate to production. Nelson, a junior, hasn't significantly improved since the close of his freshman year. His lack of attention to detail has forced Gators coach Billy Donovan to play Nelson off the ball instead of at his natural position, point guard. He shot 5-of-16 from the field in a loss to Kentucky. It seemed to be no coincidence Florida beat Mississippi State by 28 last Saturday when Nelson accumulated as many assists as shot attempts (six).
