As a freshman Andrew Nembhard came into Gainesville ready to play. He had the poise of an upperclassman with a basketball IQ far beyond most 18-year olds and standing at 6’5” he was physically ready for the battles to be taken place in the rough and tumble SEC. Possessing NBA vision he was able to string together highlight reel assist after highlight reel assist which endeared himself to both fans and the coaching staff that trusted him to make plays at important times of big games.
There was a lot to like about his game but, as is the case with most freshmen, there was a whole.
