DeMarcus Nelson

Nelson spent last year in Italy, playing for Air Avellino. He averaged 8.9ppg, 3.7rpg, 1.2apg and 1.5spg, but shot only 23% from three point range. Rather than his offense catching up to his defense, it actually got worse last year. He's not normally as bad of a shooter as that.

An oft-cited DeMarcus Nelson trivia states that Nelson is the first undrafted rookie in the history of the NBA to start the first game of his first season. But he wasn't. John Amaechi did it, too.

Nelson hasn't been in the NBA this year, however, and has instead been playing for Air Avellino in Serie A.
