Executive Summary
Aaron Nesmith is a player for the Pacers, ranking in the 61th percentile league-wide by Baseline Impact Score (52). In 30 minutes per game across 43 starts, Aaron produces 13.5/4.1/1.9 (pts/reb/ast).
Current Form & Trajectory
Live Form Index: 5/100. In a confirmed cold stretch — LFI has dropped 22.7 points with the decline showing across multiple production categories, not just shooting variance. This isn't bad luck; something is mechanically or situationally off. Look for minutes reduction, nagging injury, or lineup changes as potential causes.
Scoring & Shot Profile
Provides 13.5 PPG as a secondary scoring option. Shooting 37.5% from three — reliable enough to keep defenses honest. Not a shot teams will live with if left open, which creates baseline spacing value. The 40.4% field goal clip is concerning — either the shot diet is too difficult, or finishing/touch needs work. This inefficiency costs the offense roughly 1-2 points of production per game.
Defensive Scouting Report
Functional wing defender who can hold up against most matchups. Not a stopper but won't be a liability. 0.6 SPG and 0.5 BPG.
