The Indiana Pacers have been busy this offseason, solidifying their core by extending Andrew Nembhard’s contract for three years at $59 million.
Andrew Nembhardโs Potential:
Last season, Nembhard impressed everyone with his skills. He averaged 14.9 points, 5.5 assists, and 3.3 rebounds per game in the playoffs, shooting a remarkable 46.7% from the field and an even better 48.3% from beyond the arc during the Eastern Conference Finals.
In the regular season, he logged 9.2 points, 4.1 assists, and nearly one steal per game while maintaining a solid effective field goal percentage of 55.7%. Some people even compare him to Jalen Brunson because of his ability to drive and score easily.
Indiana Looking to Solidify Their Core for the Future:
Making it to the Eastern Conference Finals last year was no small feat for Indiana. Despite some luck and key injuries affecting other teams, they proved their mettle by going deep into the playoffs.
Bringing in Pascal Siakam was crucial for them, and Tyrese Haliburton continues to shine as an elite point guard. With a talented young roster like theirs, Indiana could become a regular contender in the Eastern Conference playoffs if players like Andrew Nembhard keep improving each year.
We believe fans are excited about this new direction!
