Andrew Nembhard

Nembhard has progressed massively since being selected in the second round of the 2022 NBA Draft. Even though he's capable of playing both point guard and shooting guard, he has settled as Tyrese Haliburton's partner in the Pacers' backcourt, and he'll remain as such for years to come after signing a three-year extension worth $59 million in the offseason. Nembhard delivered solid numbers in the 2023-24 regular season, averaging 9.2 points, 4.1 assists, 2.1 rebounds and 0.9 three-pointers in 25.0 minutes. However, his numbers spiked during the playoffs, posting 14.9 points, 5.5 assists and 3.3 rebounds in 32.6 minutes per contest, becoming the fourth player in NBA history to shoot at least 55 percent from the floor and 45 percent from three-point range in a single postseason. Nembhard's established role as a starter, solid three-point shooting numbers and passing ability make him a solid pickup across all formats even though he has a secondary role in an offensive scheme that also features Haliburton, Pascal Siakam and Myles Turner. Nembhard should be involved enough to be a reliable fantasy contributor in all formats despite not recording eye-popping stats most nights.
