Nesmith starting to turn a corner

[bopna]

He couldn't hit water from a boat tonite vs Bucks.
I really like Nesmith and am glad we kept him over Langford, but his shooting has not come around.
Another in a long line of Celtic draft picks who were killer shooters in college and could not transfer that skill to the NBA.
Not sure if it is the slight increase in distance or the quicker defensive pressure that leads to their struggles.
You can't say Danny did not try to find shooters with our draft picks, but we've had a crazy run of bad luck.

So, you're ignoring his last few games?

Doesnt matter what he did the last few games..its when he is needed and most important games that he was needed to be a dead eye shooter and he continued to brick shots..that is a hall mark of a bust. Heck even Hauser had a better game than he did.

Bust Nesmith will need to really improve in the off season or he is goin to be a bust...chances are he is headed the James Young route.

I love that you’ve deemed a game we were trying to lose as one that he was needed in.

I think by that standard Grant Williams might be a bust, as well.  Who cares what he's done the entire season?  He sucked last night.

Tatum shot 27.8% from the field last game out - bust!

Tatum and Grant Williams have had some staying power and longer periods of consistency than Nesmith.  Nesmith has shown me no reason that he should be trusted in high pressure situations.  Why not reward the guys who come in and do their job, instead of trying to bring this guy along?  Hauser was tremendous last night, both shooting and rebounding.  We drafted Nesmith to be the 3 point sniper, but it seems like we picked one up in Hauser instead.  Why not give him that role?

Hauser should get specialist minutes when we needs threes, perhaps.  Nesmith has the potential to be a more well-rounded player.  He's shown athleticism and defense.  Plus, Nesmith shot 37% from 3PT across 46 games last year.  In the 10 games since the All-Star game, he's at 40.9% 3PT%.  So, he's had a handful of moments.
