Summary
Nembhard is a traditional point guard who thrives in transition and PnR action. He looks to pass first but has been efficient when looking to score in the lane. He plays with great pace, which limits turnovers and keeps his defender off balance. Most of his scoring is reliant on his three-point shot dropping effectively. He could be a great backup point guard option but does not profile as much of a scorer.

Notes
Vs. UCLA – Las Vegas, NV – 11/23/2021
As a scorer he did a little bit of everything, he created for himself off the dribble, getting the rim finishing with contact, knocked down a couple of pull-up 3’s, hit a mid-range jumper, and had nice two foot floater in the lane. As a passer he did a good job getting into the paint drawing the attention of the defense and kicking out to shooter on the perimeter for open 3’s. Defensively, he was active on the perimeter, he fought over screens, got a few deflection/steals and, mixed it up for three defensive rebounds. He did turn the ball over too much for my liking and his being loose with his handle and a few errand passes.

This data was hand-tracked by AJ Wahl and Bryon Cook. Every single defensive possesion of each player's season was analyzed. This dataset includes all possessions when the defender is guarding on-ball, in man-to-man, and against a player not within their position group who shoots the ball, is fouled, or commits a turnover. The percentile listed above is a players standing compared to their postion group calculated by compliling and weighing various different metrics derrived from the hand-tracked data. This data only measures a portion of a player's impact, but it is clear that the ability to defend out of one's position group is a vital skill to contributing to winning basketball at the professional level.
