Gonzaga Bulldogs: Mock Draft Consensus on Andrew Nembhard 2.0
Scouting Report
Any team looking for a floor general should have Andrew Nembhard on their radar. When he’s on the court, there is no question about who’s running the team. It’s like having another coach on the floor.
It doesn’t mean Nembhard puts the whole burden on his shoulders. On occasion, he’s taken a game over when his team needed it, but that isn’t his bread and butter.
Nembhard is an unselfish distributor of the ball. An outstanding passer, he has a knack for both keeping the ball moving as well as finding the open man.
Watching him handle the ball in transition is a pleasure. He does it the right way, getting it up court efficiently.
He’s a plus defender who can handle opposing guards, playing with the type of tenacity coaches wish their entire team had. A very heady player, rarely is Nembhard out of position defensively. Additionally, at 6-5, he has excellent size for a point guard.
Obviously, Nembhard has some deficiencies, or he’d be a top 10 pick. First of all, while calm on the floor, he’s hardly explosive. Also, he can be a very streaky shooter from the outside.
Nembhard isn’t the type of player who will win games for his team with his talent. At the same time, he won’t lose games with mental mistakes or sloppiness. Over his two seasons with the Gonzaga Bulldogs, Nembhard had a 3.2 assist to turnover ratio.
