There are stable performances on both ends of the offense and defense. Should the Pacers backcourt be given more ball rights?

In the previous NBA Finals G4, the Oklahoma City Thunder defeated the Indiana Pacers who played at home 111-104, tied the total score of the series to 2-2, and both sides also returned to the same starting line. Next, both sides will return to Oklahoma City to prepare for the Battle of the King of Kings in the Series G5, which may also greatly affect the final trend of the series.

Although the Pacers lost the game, the team's starting and backcourt player Andrew Nembhard's performance is worthy of recognition. Nemhard played 35 minutes and 52 seconds in the whole game, made 4 of 9 shots and 2 of 4 from outside the three-point line, scored 10 points, 2 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals and 1 block, and had 4 turnovers and 4 fouls, with a plus-minus value of +3. Nemhard didn't have many shots on the offensive end, but he also seized the opportunity and got some points. Nemhard also showed excellent personal defensive ability on the defensive end. His defensive intensity is very high and his defensive focus is excellent enough. Nemhard can also show his ability on both offense and defense. However, the team's overall performance was still a little mediocre, and in the end they still couldn't win the game.

In the NBA regular season this season, Nemhard made a total of 65 appearances in 82 games, averaging 28.9 minutes per game, averaging 10 points, 3.3 rebounds, 5 assists, 1.2 steals and 0.2 blocks, and 1.7 turnovers and 2.3 fouls, shooting percentage of 45.8%, three-point shooting percentage of 29.1%, and free throw shooting percentage of 79.4%. In the playoffs, Nemhard averaged 33.3 minutes in his first 20 games, with averaging 12.4 points, 3.3 rebounds, 4.7 assists, 1.6 steals, 0.3 blocks, and 1.8 turnovers and 2.8 fouls. He shot 47% from the field, 46.1% from three-point shooting percentage and 77.1% from free throws.

Nemhard's performance in the playoffs has been very stable, his offensive efficiency has been maintained at a high level, his three-point shooting percentage is also extremely outstanding, and he can also undertake certain tasks in passing and organizing offense. Nemhard's performance on the defensive end is also worthy of recognition, and he is also able to limit the core characters of his opponents on the defensive end. The problem is that Nemhard is just a player with a not-so-high tactical status, and he still cannot further play his talents on the offensive end. Judging from the actual situation, Nemhard's ability is obviously not bad and he can also take on more responsibilities. Maybe the Pacers also need to give him more phones in the next game?
