Auf jeden Fall ein Starter in der Liga?! Können er und Haliburton langfristig zusammen spielen, passt das? Die Parallelen zu Brunson sind nicht von der Hand zu weisen.

Zu Nembhard aus einem (closed) Pacers Blog:

"I’ve said it many times before, but he is one of the best driving guards in the NBA, and certainly amongst the younger crop of them. 24-6-10 on 55/50/100 splits in a do-or-die is no joke, and especially after putting up 32 & 9 the game prior to it. Watching Tatum fail to punish him down low – as if he were a small car flattening itself against a fire hydrant – that’s the stuff. Watching Nembhard go perfectly upright, while floating slightly backwards to contest a transition layup? It pleases the Kyle Lowry fan in me.

There were mistakes, but he defended with an edge. He shot the hell out of the basketball. He ran the Pacers through their stuff, and he made the check downs to the bigs. He doesn’t explode into the lane like Bennedict Mathurin, but Moses didn’t dive into the water either - he waited until the sea parted and made his way through the available path."

"The young man shot over 80-percent at the rim in this playoff run. The young man shot over 60-percent from the long mid-range in this playoff run. Over 45-percent from both the corner triple, and above-the-break. He pocketed an immense game winner. A very healthy assist-percentage – with a lot of really unique and clever passes while on the move – and a perfectly acceptable turnover-percentage compared to his usage.

Whether the Pacers played him next to Haliburton or by himself, it doesn’t matter, he makes it work. Whether he guards up, or down, he brings the lunch pail. Few players in the NBA fit so many places and shine in all of them. A star in a role, or what have you. Only, Nembhard took the usage that was thrust onto him, on the second biggest stage, and he flourished. It’s these players who make you wonder: “should we maybe drop the ‘in a role’ part"

Nembhard ist ein absoluter Keeper. Völlig egal, dass er in der Crunchtime nicht fehlerfrei war.
