Why is Aaron Nesmith thriving with the Indiana Pacers?

Forward Aaron Nesmith‘s performance with the Indiana Pacers so far this season has been a revelation after his trade from the Boston Celtics the offseason before last to bring Malcolm Brogdon to Boston. He has noticeably gained muscle since joining the Pacers, making him stronger and more imposing on the court.

Nesmith’s physical transformation, and his improved shooting efficiency have both helped the Vanderbilt alum carve out a key role in the Pacers’ lineup. Nesmith’s ability to play freely in Indiana without having to worry if the next mistake gets him benched, vs. his limited playing time and lack of rhythm in Boston are certainly factors behind his growth as a player, but what else could be at work here?

Bobby Manning, host of the CLNS Media “Garden Report” podcast recently talked with guest Caitlin Cooper about Nesmith’s improved play.
