Scouting Report
At 6-foot-4, Nesbitt has the size to be a prototypical power forward. His strength is a high hockey IQ and good two-way sense. Nesbitt’s offensive game has grown in the last year, as evidenced by his inflated numbers this past season. Skating ability and true offensive finishing are areas of concern. Nesbitt might project to be more of a bottom-six player.
Projection:
First Round – #30 San Jose
