I mean, he was still like 45% in the other games tho. It's fair to wait and see on both sides of the isle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troy Brown Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 guys lmao, he's played in 4 games. he's 21. rookie season. coming off an injury. no offseason. he's played with no consistency and has gotten into no rhythm. he's not close defensively, so he isn't playing and he's likely not to be a rotational piece this year and thus far, they haven't needed him to be. once he's playing more than once a week and still looking mediocre from 3, then i'll be concerned. but again, you couldn't pay me to blink an eye right now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had him #13 in my final rankings so it's not like I didn't like the kid or lack belief in him. I just think it's a potential credible concern/observation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's fair to wait and see on both sides of the isle. 100% he may prove to be a marksman in the league. I just think it's something to monitor considering he only had a small sample size of elite shooting in college and has struggled shooting the 3 so far this season.

Troy Brown Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 I mean, Nesmith isn't likely to have very good numbers this year and I ain't gonna be very concerned about it. He's playing behind a pretty stacked group of guards/wings. He was supposed to take Semi's minutes and Semi has been pretty solid and reliable so no need to rush nesmith and they won't.

DoleINGout Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 i just hope the celtics get kevin love finally. give up nesmith, smart, romeo, semi, theis, picks, rob williams, grant williams, tremont waters, carsen edwards - whatever combination of those that gets it done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is he an elite shooter like he showed in a small sample size as a sophomore or just an average shooter like he showed over a 30+ game sample size as a freshman. I'm not saying to write him off, that he's a bust, or that he can't improve. I'm just saying it'll be interesting to see how he shoots as the year goes on.

I meaaaan... this year? sure, it's always worth watching rookies develop. Semi is shooting 42 percent from 3. He's not likely to lose his minutes to Nesmith any time soon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agarcia34 Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 These Pelicans were more enjoy to watch with Alvin Gentry. They may be better with Stan, but it’s not a good watch offensively like before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYRaider Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 This years Lakers team is so much more balanced offensively than last years squad. Last year AD averaged 26 and Bron averaged 25 with Kuzma being their only other player averaging 10+ ppg at 10.5 ppg. This year LeBron is averaging 24, AD is averaging 22, and they have 4 other guys averaging 10+ ppg with Schroder averaging 14.2 ppg, Harrell averaging 13.6 ppg, Kuzma averaging 10.5 ppg, amd KCP averaging 10.1 ppg.

I had such high expectations for him coming into Duke and was so disappointed when he transferred out, great to see him sticking around the league and in a rotation for a good team.
