Now that the 2020-21 Boston Celtics season is firmly in the rear-view mirror, it’s possible to spend some time taking stock of how each player did with the opportunity he had.
To that end, we are grading every player who put in time on the basketball court for the Celtics this season, including all 15 members of the regular roster, both two-way players and the players the team cut or traded away. That’s 21 players altogether, and today’s focus is rookie small forward Aaron Nesmith. Drafted out of Vanderbilt and vaulted into the NBA despite no summer league, little practice and a long layoff due to injury, the South Carolina native took time to find his game at the next level.
He managed to work his way into the rotation by season’s end, however, so let’s take a look at how Nesmith’s first season with Boston went, in context.
The UConn product is loved by his teammates. https://t.co/zGpUtv5fiH
