Nesmith

Post by mathguy »

If you haven't noticed, Aaron Nesmith may be on the verge of a breakout year.

It remains to be seen how he fits into the Celtics rotation this year (unlike last year, the Celtics have a lot of depth this year), but Nesmith seems much improved after struggling as a rookie last year.

He was a star for the Celtics in summer league, and his preseason so far has been:

10 pts in 15minutes (4-5fg,2-3 3pt) +2 when on court
5pts in 15min (2-4fg, 1-3 3pt), +6 when on court
23 pts in 27 min (8-16fg, 4-8 3pt ... plus 4 assists), +11 when on court.

The +19 is nice ... over the 3 games the Celtics as a team were +2.

I wouldn't expect him to be starting any time soon, but he could have a real rotation spot, especially if he keeps shooting around 50% from three!
