Indiana Pacers guard/forward Aaron Nesmith put in a bunch of hard work this past offseason to help play on the perimeter more.

At media day last week, Indiana Pacers forward Aaron Nesmith was asked to explain what he worked on during the offseason. It was his first full summer with the Pacers after being traded to the franchise from the Boston Celtics in July of 2022.
“Just being a better overall basketball player. My pace. Ball handling. Being able to make better reads. Driving into the paint. Finishing,” he said. The young forward will have a slightly different role for the blue and gold this season. With the additions of Jarace Walker and Obi Toppin, he won’t be in the frontcourt as often.
