It will be interesting to see how Nesmith adapts after COVID season, Summer League, a healthy summer, Training Camp, & a pre-season under his belt. His 3Pt% will dictate his minutes/effectiveness.
Fresh @Vand: 32 games 59/175 33.7%
Soph @Vand: 14 games 60/115 52.2%
Celtic rookie: 40/108 37%
I think we can all agree that AN was a bundle of nerves during his rookie year. AND Shooters need to play games/mins, get attempts and have the confidence to shoot well.
(SSS alert)
The 3mths where he got to play the most minutes (Feb/April/May) he shot 27/64 from 3 (42.2%) vs the three months he played the least (Dec/Jan/March) 13/44 (29.5%)
Nesmith strikes me as a guy that will shoot better as he gains confidence/mins, as we saw in college and during his rookie year. He's also a guy worth investing early regular-season minutes into since we probably will have to part with him in any deal that brings back the 3rd star we crave. I don't see 12ppg from AN but I do see 40%+ from 3 if gets to play 15mpg with no DNP-CD.
Also putting him in the same sentence as Jaylen Brown seems silly, completely different players/talent levels.
