THE SEASON SO FAR
Andrew Nembhard's first twenty games were defined by a volatile transition into a heavy-usage starting role. He frequently forced the issue offensively. Look at his 11/20 vs CHA performance; despite managing a solid 16 points, his clunky 6-for-15 shooting and poor shot selection yielded a dismal -12.1 Impact score. Yet, he also found ways to salvage ugly shooting nights through sheer grit. On 11/25 vs DET, Nembhard shot a miserable 4-for-14 from the floor but still posted a +4.1 Impact score because his relentless defensive pressure kept him valuable. When his jumper actually fell, he morphed into a legitimate offensive engine. During a brilliant outing on 11/22 vs CLE, he poured in 32 points and dished out 8 assists on highly efficient 11-for-20 shooting, resulting in a staggering +29.9 Impact score.
Andrew Nembhard’s midseason stretch was defined by a maddening duality as a floor general, oscillating wildly between hyper-efficient maestro and high-volume liability. Look at his 12/28 vs MIA performance, where he handed out a staggering 16 assists but still posted a -2.1 Impact. That negative score reveals the hidden cost of his erratic shot selection. By bricking five threes and shooting just 7-for-17 overall, he bled value on the offensive end despite his gaudy passing numbers. Just two days later on 12/30 vs HOU, he flipped the script completely. Despite managing a meager 11 points and two assists on ugly 4-for-13 shooting, Nembhard scraped together a +2.0 Impact through sheer defensive grit and timely hustle plays that kept his team afloat. When his jumper actually fell, his ceiling was undeniable. During the 01/11 vs MIA matchup, he torched the defense for 29 points and nine assists on blistering 10-for-16 shooting, generating a towering +32.1 Impact that exposed how dangerous he becomes when he stops forcing bad looks.
Andrew Nembhard spent the middle of the season operating as a chaotic pendulum, swinging wildly between hyper-efficient scoring bursts and hollow playmaking. Look no further than the 03/25 vs LAL matchup, where he tallied a massive 19 assists but still posted a -1.8 Impact score. Despite the gaudy passing numbers, his passive 3-for-9 shooting and porous point-of-attack defense ultimately dragged the team down. Earlier in the stretch, his shot selection completely abandoned him during a disastrous 02/08 vs TOR contest. He chucked his way to 10 points on an abysmal 4-of-18 from the floor, earning a brutal -11.7 Impact score because his forced attempts repeatedly killed offensive momentum. Yet, when he simplified his approach, he transformed into a lethal weapon. During the 03/12 vs PHX game, Nembhard dropped 23 points on 6-of-7 shooting in a mere 17 minutes. That ruthless efficiency generated a staggering +20.3 Impact score, reminding everyone how dangerous he can be when he stops forcing the issue.
IMPACT TIMELINE
Game-by-game performance vs average. Green = above average, red = below.
Boom-or-bust player. Nembhard's impact swings wildly relative to his average — some nights dominant, others invisible. Scoring varies by ~7 points per game.
Middle-of-the-road efficiency — shoots 45%+ from the field in 48% of games. Not automatic, but not a problem either.
Defensive impact is minimal for a 31-minute player. Not generating enough contests, rim protection, or forced turnovers to move the needle.
