Doubt he will play

This is not the old Knicks Celts have faced

We miss Jayson Tatum today

He's not there yet, but Aaron Nesmith is starting to get comfortable. He made some excellent team defensive plays last night, even though he also did have 2 big miscues.

On offense, he forced it a bit, resulting in one charge, but he also made several easy drive and kicks that kept the ball moving. He and Semi have a little bit of chemistry out there on the court.

And, of course, he had three made threes, each of which he looked supremely confident shooting.

The guy is going to be very, very good. Brad is starting to trust him on defense and Nesmith is rewarding that trust with good play.

A TP for you to get off 666!

A TP for you to get off 666!

Finally. I've been at that number for awhile. I think people were refusing to give me TPs just to spite and shame me.

Love seeing him play this well after being written off before a month of his career had passed

Looks like Nesmith is right on track to go through the normal roller coaster of CS hype and despair. This usually culminates in the player (a) dropping 25 in one of the last games of his rookie year when no one is playing defense, (b) lighting up summer league, and then (c) spraining an ankle on the first day of training camp in his second season and then barely getting playing time for the first two months of the season.

On a more serious note: he's going to have to start releasing the ball quicker if he wants to be a legit offensive threat.

If Nesmith turns out to be like a Robert Covington..

Thats all one can ask for

Because of his good size and massive wingspan, I'm not too worried about his shot release speed. He's not Kemba out there trying to outquick guys. Sure it always helps to have a fast shot, but he doesn't seem to fazed by guys running at him and he also has a nice side step to open up space that he's clearly worked on. At this point, it is just going to take a lot of reps to keep getting him up to speed in the NBA game, but getting his shot off should be one of the least of our concerns.

Yeah, his shot speed is fine. If anything he was rushing it before and is starting to settle in now.

So he's about 6' 6" and what is his wingspan?  Thanks.
