Atlanta, GA., --  For the second consecutive week, the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (SIAC) offices revealed their SIAC Players of the Week and Freshman wing Jaelen Nelson was selected as SIAC Men's Basketball Newcomer of the Week.

He continued his strong play, helping the Tigers go 1-1 last week. Nelson recorded 19 points, three rebounds and five 3-pointers in a win over Benedict before contributing 15 points on 6-of-12 shooting, including three 3-pointers, in a loss to Clark Atlanta. Nelson also shot a perfect 4-for-4 from the free-throw line.

A native of West Palm Beach, Florida, Nelson has been a key contributor in Edward Waters as of late, as he started and scored in double figures in the Tigers last four games. Nelson is averaging 14.5 points on 53.1% shooting from the field as well and 52.1% from three-point range. Nelson has knocked down 12 three pointers across that span while also connecting on all six of his foul shots.
