Career winding down
Nelson averaged 4.9 points, 3.6 assists and 2.1 rebounds over 50 games played with the Pelicans and Pistons during the 2017-18 season.
ANALYSIS
At 35 years old, Nelson's 14th NBA season indicated that the end is coming soon for his career, as his minutes, points, assists, rebounds and just about every other statistical category declined drastically from years prior. The former Saint Joseph's standout will be a free agent this summer and it won't be surprising if he considers retirement.

Nelson is far from an exciting guard at the ripe age of 35, but he's become a nice veteran presence for this young Denver team. The former Saint Joseph standout had to play much more than expected in 2016-17, as he took over starting point guard duties across the final few months of the season. The reason for that was Emmanuel Mudiay's inability to stay healthy, in addition to his lack of growth. That flung Nelson into a starting role, as the Nuggets competed for a playoff berth until the final week of the season. Nelson had a nice year too, as he averaged 9.2 points, 2.6 rebounds, 5.1 assists and 0.7 steals in 27.0 minutes per game. That assist number actually led the team, as he ran the third-best offense in the league. The fact that this is a young team full of talent should garner Nelson more rest this season, as they need to see what they have in Jamal Murray and Mudiay moving forward. Murray's growth in his rookie season likely puts him as the team's starting point guard of the future, which could ultimately mean Nelson has to sacrifice some playing time. Nelson shouldn't be expected to match his numbers from a season ago as he transitions back to a reserve role, so look for him to focus more of his attention on mentoring Murray.
