Getting to know Aaron Nesmith

I’ve been delving into the YouTube archives on Aaron Nesmith to see what kind of player the Celtics are getting. I specifically wanted to see the impression he made without any connection to an NBA team.

I highly recommend you make time to watch Nesmith’s film session with Mike Schmitz. If you don’t have 40 minutes to kill, here are some notes I took on what I found to be most interesting:

  • a keen sense of self awareness: realizing why plays broke down, understanding what mistakes he made, suggesting other plays that would have been better, elaborating that broken plays can have simple solutions, like taking one dribble and passing instead of driving into collapsed defenders.
