Mock Draft 2.0: New Orleans Pelicans Jump into Top Four
Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. Aaron Nesmith. 24. player. 118. Small Forward / Vanderbilt. Utah Jazz
Aaron Nesmith could be one of the players who makes a big jump on draft day, as he can do something that all teams covet: shoot the 3-point shot.
He has missed some time with injuries but Nesmith is shooting an outstanding 52.2 percent from 3-point range.
Utah will look to surround star shooting guard Donovan Mitchell with guys who can shoot, and Nesmith might be the best shooter in the draft.
He is also one of the biggest question marks, as he only played 14 games and scouts haven’t seen much of him.
Nesmith can definitely shoot, but doesn’t do much else.
His assist and rebounding numbers are not impressive, and he’s not a good defender or ball handler.
But teams are always looking to add shooting and Nesmith can do that, getting 23 points per game in a limited sample.
His lack of overall game may hurt his stock a bit, but Nesmith is one of the players who could rocket up the draft board if he has good workouts.
