The league s top 3D wing! Did the Pacers make a big profit when they got him from the Celtics?

In a previous NBA Finals G1 game, the Indiana Pacers completed a comeback in the final quarter and narrowly defeated the Oklahoma City Thunder who played at home with a quasi-final win of the backcourt core Tyrese Haliburton. After this game, the Pacers took the lead in the series, leading the opponent 1-0 with a total score, and gaining a psychological advantage.

In this game, the Pacers' starting wing player Aaron Nesmith's performance is worthy of recognition. Nesmith played 31 minutes and 10 seconds in the game, made 3 of 9 shots, 3 of 7 from outside the three-point line, and 1 of 2 free throws, scoring 10 points, 12 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 block. He also scored 5 turnovers and 2 fouls, and the plus and negative values ​​also reached the highest +13 in the game. Nesmith still maintained a very high level on the defensive end. He has strong personal defensive ability. He is also very active in the backcourt rebounds and has also played a good role. Nesmith's feel on the offensive end cannot be considered particularly outstanding, but he still scored a key three-pointer in stages. Although Nesmith's data is not outstanding, his offensive efficiency has declined a little compared to before, and his turnover number is a little bit higher, he has also made considerable contributions to the team's key victory.

In the NBA regular season this season, Nesmith played a total of 45 games due to injury, averaging 24.9 minutes per game, averaging 12 points, 4 rebounds, 1.2 assists, 0.8 steals and 0.4 blocks, and 0.8 turnovers and 2.5 fouls. He shot 50.7%, three-point shooting percentage 43.1%, and 91.2% free throw shooting percentage. In the playoffs, Nesmith averaged 29 minutes in the first 17 games, with averaging 13.8 points, 5.9 rebounds, 1.2 assists, 0.8 steals and 0.8 blocks, and 1.1 turnovers and 3.8 fouls. He shot 49.4%, three-point shooting percentage 49.5%, and free throw shooting percentage 87.1%.

Nesmith's performance throughout the playoffs was excellent. He showed comprehensive personal abilities, his three-point shooting percentage was amazing, he also showed comprehensive scoring ability on the offensive end, and he had a very amazing performance. It may not be an exaggeration to say that he is one of the league's top 3D wings for the playoffs. At the beginning, everyone thought that the Pacers only got Nesmith in the transaction involving Malcolm Brogdon, which was a bit of a loss, but judging from the current situation, perhaps the Pacers are the hidden winners of this deal?
