Nelson is another standout setter who has been doing a fantastic job of running the Wolves' offense alongside Jackson. Nelson knows how to read her opponents mid-play and move the ball around to help set her team up for success. I've gotten the opportunity to watch her not only this fall, but also through this previous club season.
