It’s the final weekend before the NBA regular season begins, which means you’re coming here for your fantasy basketball drafts.
Should you draft Andrew Nembhard this season? Here’s the latest outlook, projections, and rankings for the Indiana Pacers Point Guard.
Should You Draft Andrew Nembhard in Fantasy Basketball?
Andrew Nembhard has a clear pathway to increased production in the 2025-26 campaign, with Tyrese Haliburton (Achilles) out of commission. The fourth-year guard is expected to serve as Indiana’s lead playmaker, giving him a prime opportunity to build on last season’s career-best output.
Across 65 outings, Nembhard averaged 10.0 points, 3.3 rebounds, 5.0 assists, 1.2 steals, and 0.8 3-pointers per game while shooting 45.8% from the field. In eight appearances sans Haliburton, those numbers mostly rose to 11.3 ppg, 2.6 rpg, 6.6 apg, 1.1 spg, and 1.0 3pg, though his shooting dipped to 40.0%.
With increased usage and the added value of his 2025 NBA Finals experience, fantasy managers should consider drafting Nembhard in Rounds 7 to 9, especially those targeting assists in category leagues.
