Fantasy Outlook
Nesmith suffered his first significant injury as a member of the Pacers last season and missed extended time to start the regular season. However, he was his usual self when he returned and finished the campaign with 51/43/91 shooting splits. Nesmith also had a few heroic moments in the playoffs, including a 30-point outing in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals against the Knicks. When healthy, Nesmith easily provides top-150 value, and he could see a boost in usage next season. Tyrese Haliburton is expected to miss the entire 2025-26 campaign while rehabbing from a torn Achilles tendon he suffered in Game 7 of the NBA Finals, while Myles Turner left Indiana in free agency and signed with Milwaukee. That leaves a ton of offensive responsibilities on the table, and Nesmith should be a leading candidate to absorb some. However, the offense will still be led by Pascal Siakam. Plus, Andrew Nembhard, Bennedict Mathurin and T.J. McConnell are better offensive initiators than Nesmith, who'll likely see more shots per game but be relegated to a 3-and-D role. Nesmith should be taken before pick 150 in standard leagues, with a slight boost in category leagues due to his strong shooting percentages.Pacers Lineup
