He is not the most famous “daddy's boy” but Jameer Nelson Jr. got a Spurs camp invitation. A playmaker like his dad, “Junior” landed the 21st and final roster spot for the “training camp,” and he already knows the team a bit since he participated in the summer league. Third point guard behind Stephon Castle and Jamaree Boyea, he averaged 4.1 points and 1.3 assists in 11 minutes.
Coming out of TCU last June after five college years also spent at Delaware and George Washington, he had compiled 11.2 points, 3.3 assists and 2.1 steals per game. At the Spurs, the 15 guaranteed contracts are already known. On the other hand, only two ” two-way contract ” have already found takers, and Nelson will now be competing with Malachi Flynn, Brandon Boston Jr. and Riley Minix for the contract.
At worst, he will be integrated into the Austin Spurs squad in the G-League.
