He clearly has the ability to eat more ball rights, why doesn’t the Pacers give him more trust?

In the previous NBA Finals G2, the Oklahoma City Thunder, who played at home, rebounded strongly and defeated the Indiana Pacers 123-107, tying the total score of the series to 1-1, and both sides also returned to the same starting line. With the competitiveness shown by the Thunder in this game, there should be a lot of suspense in this round of the series.

Although the Pacers lost the game, the team's starting shooting guard Andrew Nembhard's performance was relatively stable. Nemhard played 32 minutes and 23 seconds in the whole game, made 4 of 8 shots, 1 of 4 from outside the three-point line, and 2 of 4 free throws, and scored 11 points, 4 rebounds, 4 assists and 3 steals. He also had 1 turnover and 1 foul, with a plus-negative value of -17. Nemhard also got some points on the offensive end with limited shots and ball rights. He has a relatively rich offensive method, and he also has certain passing ability and organizational ability. Nemhard's performance on the defensive end is still very stable. He is also a reliable outside defender and can play a role in the defensive end. However, Nemhard did not receive enough tactical status to support him, and in this case he could not play his own characteristics. In addition, the backcourt partner Tyrese Haliburton did not show his value, so it is difficult for the team to turn the situation around in this situation.

In the NBA regular season this season, Nemhard made a total of 65 appearances in 82 games, averaging 28.9 minutes per game, averaging 10 points, 3.3 rebounds, 5 assists, 1.2 steals and 0.2 blocks, and 1.7 turnovers and 2.3 fouls, shooting percentage of 45.8%, three-point shooting percentage of 29.1%, and free throw shooting percentage of 79.4%. In the playoffs, Nemhard averaged 33.1 minutes in his first 18 games, with averaging 12.8 points, 3.3 rebounds, 5.1 assists, 1.6 steals and 0.2 blocks, and 1.6 turnovers and 2.6 fouls. He shot 46.7%, three-point shooting percentage 45.7%, and free throw shooting percentage 78.8%.

Nemhard's overall performance during the playoffs is undoubtedly impressive, and he can play a key role on both offense and defense. The most important thing is that while a lot of energy is consumed on the defensive end, it is even more than everyone expected that Nemhard can still play such a role on the offensive end. For the Pacers, considering that Halliburton's performance is not as outstanding as they imagined, they actually have every reason to improve Nemhard's ball and tactical status. The team needs Nemhard to take on more responsibilities and he has the ability to do this, so why can't the Pacers give him more trust?
