Pacers Player Predictions Vol. 2: Welcome to Nembhell

About this episode

Brad and Ryan analyze Nembhard's role and impact on the Pacers as they continue their player predictions series.

The Pacers may have one of the NBA’s best two-way guards hiding in plain sight. Brad and Ryan continue their “Pacers Player Predictions” series with a deep dive into the Pacers starting two guard and one of the most versatile backcourt players in the NBA. After stepping into primary playmaking duties and averaging nearly 17 points and 8 assists while ranking Top 7 in the league in assists, what does Nembhard’s role look like with Tyrese Haliburton back in the lineup? The guys discuss how much on-ball responsibility he’ll continue to carry, whether another leap defensively could put All-Defensive honors within reach, and why “Nembhell” has become one of the toughest experiences in basketball for opposing guards. Plus: stat predictions, playoff expectations, and how critical Nembhard’s two-way impact is to another Pacers title push.
