Andrew Nembhard · Andrew Nembhard looked more like a lottery pick than someone who was drafted in the second round. The 31st overall selection matched Tyrese Haliburton’s production while filling in for his All-Star teammate, putting Steph Curry on skates with some evasive handles before draining a straightaway step-back 3-pointer over the four-time champion. The Indiana Pacers rookie shot 13 for 21 from the field while posting season-highs of 31 points, eight rebounds and five triples in his squad’s 112-104 win over the Golden State Warriors on December 5, 2022. Nembhard also mixed in 13 assists as he became the third rookie in franchise history — and first since 2002 — to have a 30-point, 10-assist game. Nembhard was also just the fourth NBA rookie to produce a 30-8-10 game with five treys and he concluded his rookie campaign with averages of 9.5 points and 4.5 assists per game. · State of Mint
