With Tyrese Haliburton on the shelf next season, the Indiana Pacers will slide Nembhard over to the point guard role full-time. With him leading the way, the Pacers' offense will play to his strengths, which should give him a great opportunity to break out next season. This includes having a career year as a scorer, with some predicting he could score 20 points per game next season, which would double his current career high.
Recently, Dave DuFour of The Athletic said he thinks Nembhard can become an 18-20 PPG player next season. While this would be a monumental jump for the Gonzaga alum, DuFour notes that it is reasonable since there is already a system in place that works in Indiana.
