He still vividly remembers watching the Malice at the Palace unfold in his parents’ living room. That deep-rooted connection only grew over the years. Brad’s wife has been a Pacemate for 8 seasons, and he credits their parents’ investment in season tickets as a key part of the family’s shared bond with the Blue and Gold. Ryan, a few years younger, missed the height of the Reggie era but became fully indoctrinated during the Paul George years—when the Pacers battled LeBron and the Heat year after year.

Brad and Ryan continue their “Pacers Player Predictions” series with a deep dive into the Pacers starting two guard and one of the most versatile backcourt players in the NBA. After stepping into primary playmaking duties and averaging nearly 17 points and 8 assists while ranking Top 7 in the league in assists, what does Nembhard’s role look like with Tyrese Haliburton back in the lineup? The guys discuss how much on-ball responsibility he’ll continue to carry, whether another leap defensively could put All-Defensive honors within reach, and why “Nembhell” has become one of the toughest experiences in basketball for opposing guards. Plus: stat predictions, playoff expectations, and how critical Nembhard’s two-way impact is to another Pacers title push.","meta_description":"The Pacers may have one of the NBA’s best two-way guards hiding in plain sight.
