Andrew Nemhard shouldn t have been here. In Florida...

Andrew Nemhard shouldn't have appeared here.

While playing for Florida's top NCAA Division I team and Gonzaga University, Nemhard announced his NBA draft three times, but chose to return to school because no one was interested.

When he finally decided to run in 2022, he was not even selected in the first round. The scout report believes that his shooting posture is destined to be an excellent shooter, his lateral movement speed is not enough to defend NBA-level guards, and he lacks the ability to create offense independently.

But the Pacers see the potential that others ignore. Although they have selected player Benedict Mathering, who is in the sixth pick, the management still believes that Nemhard, who is in the 31st pick, is an option that cannot be missed.

Now, he is shouldering the heavy responsibility of the MVP of the Main Defense League as the starting position in the finals - and this MVP is not only his teammate who plays side by side with the Canadian national team, but also a fellow villager who was only 45 minutes away from him in his childhood. The team never asked him to take on the heavy responsibility of scoring, but he still did it. In fact, his playoff average is nearly 3 points higher than the regular season.

When everyone was talking about Halliburton and "spicy P" Siakam leading the Pacers, the real fans understood that without Andrew Nemhard, Indiana would never be able to be just two wins away from the championship.
