Ryan Nembhard, G., Gonzaga

Height: 6-0 • Weight: 180 • Class: Senior • Age: 22

Summary: Nembhard is an excellent general floor that is characterized in pick-and-roll situations and has made great progress as a scorer last year. But with his small stature it has natural limits that turn a cap on the head.

Compare: Tyus Jones

Strengthen

Play: Nembhard has registered incredible 9.8 assists per game for only 2.5 sales. It is a statistical line of the general style-style-styling line, so it plays as you expect as a clever decision-maker who manages the game at a high level. He dictates pace, quickly reads the defense and makes Pinpoint passes.

Achieve versatility: It is under sized, but he is a clever at-Rim finisher and knows how to use the glass. He is not a knockdown shooter, but he showed great progress when a senior achieved a career-high percentage of shots from dribbling (41.8% from the field) and from the catch (44.4% to 3S). If this progress is real, he increases his chances of staying in the NBA.

Energy: Players who aim to defend their size, but he is annoying and plays with active hands in defense.

Issue

Size: He is listed at only 6 feet. Not many players of this size do it, especially if they have a light build like him. The teams will select him when he is in defense, and the goal on the edge will be a challenge for him on the offensive.

Shoot: As a senior, he made over 40% of his 3 Series, but he was a 3-point shooter with a low volume in the entire college and it was a release share. In his four years he made only 34.7% of his 3 -Series at 3.4 attempts per game, and he only made 78.4% of his free throws.
