How has Grant Nelson grown into such an asset for Alabama basketball?

Transcript

00:00 >> Yeah, Coach, Grant was able to kind of get it done on both ends of the floor,

00:03 he had six blocks, he had 22 points.

00:05 What'd you make of his performance,

00:06 just how he kind of seemed a lot more comfortable out there tonight?

00:09 >> Yeah, I think him playing a little bit more five has helped him,

00:13 he's been able to drive more fives.

00:16 But he's had a knack for making some big threes in these comeback wins.

00:21 Go back to the Georgia game, he had two of them late,

00:23 the goalkeeper didn't offend off him once in the game.

00:25 That three hit in the corner, I wanted to take it as soon as he caught it,

00:28 I don't know what he was hesitating for.

00:31 I got yelled at, shoot it, he decides to jab and shoot it, it still goes in.

00:37 But we wanted to take it and correct threes and

00:42 build up a bunch of confidence, but the six blocks he had to go with,

00:46 I mean, Dan wouldn't finish yet, late, we were down three and

00:50 went in and made the free throw.

00:51 I mean, this was maybe his best game he's played on both sides,

00:55 his best two way game he's played, played really good on defense,

00:58 that missed that he stayed on the total.

00:59 But talking about both sides of the ball,

01:02 I think this is the best I've seen him since he's been here.

01:04 >> Sorry, go to the back of the gallery.
