Role
Nesmith starts at small forward as Indiana's two-way wing. He averaged 13.8 points and 4.2 rebounds last season while taking tough defensive assignments. His 37.9 percent three-point shooting spaces the floor for Haliburton's drive-and-kick game.
How he got here
Boston drafted Nesmith 14th overall in 2020 out of Vanderbilt. Indiana acquired him in 2022, and he opens 2026-27 as the Pacers' starting small forward.
