AARON NESMITH (IND)

#26•A. NESMITH

F • 6’6, 213 lbs; 5th year, Vanderbilt

STAR UNDERDOG

NBA ROLE: 3&D

 

Aaron Nesmith: 6’6, 3&D wing w/ a powerful impact as a defender; Nesmith plays an aggressive style predicated on physicality: holds his own v. most matchups - can defend guards & forwards despite not overwhelming them athletically; always in the mix for steals, good shot-blocker w/ nice instincts; nice spot-up shooter, though Nesmith’s also effective off dribble handoffs (can get his own 3 around screens); multi-level scorer* but his main impact is from downtown, must add a floater to round out his attack; lurks well near the baseline, looks to score via short Js; needs to improve finishing near the rim & playmaking off the dribble; strong third & fourth seasons w/ Indiana (instrumental presence during ECF run in 2024) - Nesmith plugs in as a rangy defender & shooter, can he help Indy contend in 2025?

*similar makeup to his mentor, Khris Middleton
