  • Andrew Nembhard was a monster for the Indiana Pacers in the Eastern Conference Finals against the Boston Celtics, showing that he can help the Pacers compete even in the absence of Tyrese Haliburton.
    With the Pacers now moving into the offseason knowing that Andrew Nembhard is a potential future star, they can figure out how to fully maximize both him and Tyrese Haliburton together as the lead guards alongside Pascal Siakam and Myles Turner.
    We saw during his time in college at Gonzaga that Andrew Nembhard might be capable of more, and with his game winner against the Knicks and now the performance he put on against the Boston Celtics, the Indiana Pacers are looking even scarier than before.
    The 31st overall pick of the 2022 NBA Draft out of Gonzaga might just be the ebst kept secret of the 2022 NBA Draft.

    Andrew Nembhard really has all star potential his offensive versatility makes him so dynamic and he displayed it even in the games with haliburton these playoffs. In 2 years if he signs with a team in free agency that will let him be the primary ballhandler i can see him averaging a efficient 20+ points with 7 assists

    TJ McYoda has been teaching him the force for 2 seasons in a row. Ben Shepard is also learning a lot from TJ. His numbers were also low because he only started 47 games this season. His minutes were able to improve a lot after we lost Bruce Brown & Buddy to trades and also when Mathurin went out with injury.

    Pacers have an overwhelming plethora of talented young guys whose best position is at the 2 for them. Nembhard, Mathurin, Nesmith and Sheppard. Starting next season, you probably just have Mathurin play most of the backup 2/3 minutes but it's definitely harsh on Sheppard to be more or less out of the rotation. Good problem to have, having too many good young players. But this team really could use a 3&D SF with size to match up against the big SFs in the eastern conference (Pacers had to face Middleton, OG and Tatum just in this playoff run alone and 6'5 Aaron Nesmith can't guard them at his size). I would not be surprised to see 1 of Mathurin or Nembhard moved as they both have a lot of value to other franchises who want to rebuild. You could rebuild around either one of those guys as part of a young duo. I suspect Indy will want to keep Nembhard around but if you could get a really good SF back in return, you have to at least consider it if you're Indiana.

    His trajectory reminds me a lot of Brunson's: from 2nd round pick, to carving out a rotation spot, to being a starter alongside a star lead PG, to becoming the lead PG in the middle of the playoffs because of injury and excelling at it. He's taken these steps even quicker than Brunson, which doesnt mean he is going to develop to borderline all star and superstar like Brunson did in the past two seasons. Actually I don't think he will because I don't see Indiana letting him go, so he'll probably have at least 2 more years developing alongside Haliburton... let's see
