Upon a further look at the tryout roster, it appears that Nelson and Scheyer will be competing against one another and some other off guards, including Devendorf, Ellington, Lofton, Matthews, McNeal and Reynolds. Wright likes to utilize three guard lineups so it would not surprise me if he picks at least four of these players for the twelve man squad. Lofton is probably the best outside shooter of this group while Reynolds, Devendorf, Scheyer and McNeal could fill in as a third point guard. Nelson and McNeal are probably the best defensive players. Unless some combination of Ellington, Nelson, Scheyer and Devendorf show that they can hit the three, I expect Lofton to be chosen. I also expect Reynolds (Villanova) to be chosen by his coach. He provides scoring although he is a couple of inches shorter than his listed height. Nelson is mature and provides a little bit of everything, including defense and rebounding. If he plays well in the tryouts, I have a hunch he will also make it. The fourth spot is up in the air, IMO.
