In his second workout with the Suns, St. Joseph’s standout Jameer Nelson showed off his goods one more time before Thursday’s NBA Draft. The 5-11 guard, who was named the Consensus National Player of the Year in addition to 15 other honors, was also recently named the "greatest player in SJU history." Following the workout, Nelson took a few minutes to share his thoughts on how things went and his expectations with his trip to New York for the big day Thursday.

Question: How did it feel to be back for workout No.2 with the Suns?

Jameer Nelson: It was great. They are serious, real serious about who they bring out for their second workout. I’m just very fortunate to be here in this position.

Question: Will this put you over the hump in terms of maybe coming here?

Nelson: Hopefully. Obviously, I always think I can do better. But that’s what basketball is all about, and you just have to bounce back.

Question: Are you paying attention to where you may fall in the mock drafts?

Nelson: Not at all. Especially not a mock draft. The only person I listen to is my agent, and the guys I work out for. Nobody knows for sure, so it’s hard to pay attention to any of that stuff.

Question: What other teams have brought you in for a second look?

Nelson: Nobody right now. I did a second interview with Toronto yesterday over the phone. They hired a new GM who wanted to talk to me and get a feel as to how I am as a person.

Question: Will you be in New York for the draft?

Nelson: Yes.

Question: One of the drawbacks they say about you is that you’re kind of small in terms of being a lottery pick, but then you match up against 6-7 guys today.

Nelson: Most of the time I matchup with players taller than me, so if I can do the same thing somebody else can do, what does height have to do with anything? Shaun Livingston is a great player, and he’ll most likely be a lottery pick.

Question: Where do you think you fit in terms of being a point guard with the Suns?

Nelson: I’d fit in well. You have great talent. It goes up and up. Hopefully if I become a Sun, the team will do even better next year.

Question: Have you been doing anything differently since your last Suns workout? Bulking up?

Nelson: No, no, just trying to keep in shape for these workouts with NBA teams. Not to impress, but to be myself.

Question: What was different today than some of your other recent workouts?

Nelson: Not as much shooting. Today was more about playing. Other teams want to see me shoot. Even though they know I can shoot the ball, they want to see you in person shooting.

Question: How do you overcome the downside of your frame?

Nelson: You just go play. My heart is just as big as anybody’s. That’s the biggest thing. I bring heart. I have confidence in myself no matter who I’m on the court with. Heart and courage take you a long way.
