Andrew Nemhard, Pacers starting guard, third-year student. He averaged 13 points per game so far in the playoffs, 3 points higher than the regular season. In addition to his stable scoring performance, his defense is also very strong. At 1.93 meters tall, he has been defending Lillard, Mitchell, Brunson and Alexander in the playoffs. He successfully locked up Lillard and Mitchell, and also made Brunson and Alexander inefficient. But when you know the setbacks he has encountered, you will definitely look at him with admiration again!

While at the NCAA Gonzaga University, Nemhard announced his participation in the NBA draft three times, but no one cared about it, and he had no choice but to return to school after losing the election. It was not until his fourth run in 2022 that he was selected by the Pacers' 31st pick in the second round. His scout report belittled him to nothing, saying that his shooting posture is destined to be an excellent shooter, his lateral movement speed is not enough to defend NBA-level guards, and lack the ability to independently create offenses.

However, the Pacers had a keen eye to recognize the beads, and when they selected Mathering in the same position, they used the second round pick to win Nemhard.

Nemhard also gave back to the team with his outstanding performance. Now, he is shouldering the important task of the main defense league MVP as the starting defender in the finals and also his Canadian teammate. Currently, the Pacers are only two games away from the championship. In addition to Halliburton and Siakam, Nemhard's performance is also indelible.
