He has a solid "fighter's" attitude on the court and no, his defense is not brilliant, but, everyone gives the "effort guy" a break don't they?
He is frequently caught drifting towards the rim on the defensive end leaving his perimeter man open. He then bursts out to make up for the mistake.
His arc from freshman year at Vandy to today is remarkable. He's going to improve on defense and frankly, his offense looks good enough for him to get some starting minutes and mid twenties anyway this season off the bench.
Nesmith could be a very successful mid round draft pick for Ainge. I think he was due for one.
