Ryan “It Runs in the Blood” Nembhard

Watching the Mavs game right now and that nasty crossover made me instantly added him.

I know that Kyries injury is doing a lot of work here. Opportunity can make random players look important for a night. But Nembhard doesn’t look random since he’s gotten a proper opportunity. He looks settled. The handle is sharp and he’s running the offense.

What jumps out is how comfortable he is running possessions. He’s not just bringing the ball up and dumping it off. He’s probing. He’s drawing defenders. He’s making reads that look intentional, not reactive. That usually translates better than pure scoring flukes.

So what are we thinking here?

Is he actually legit ROS.
