Receipts

What the room said about Aaron Nesmith, verbatim: the highest-scoring comments in each class.

Exhibit 01Negative.IND flair
To be fair... we'd have 3/4 wins if Nesmith remembered how to shoot all season and not just this game. 107-105 loss to Dallas he shot 2-16, 1-9 from 3 with a missed buzzer beater to win it 114-110 loss to the Wolves he shot 6-17 and 5-12 from 3 (obviously solid from 3) 141-135 2 OT loss to OKC he's 2-7 and 1-3 from 3 and fouled out in 27 minutes. He had 29-34-50 shooting splits in the 5 October games.

Exhibit 02Negative.IND flair
The Pacers just gave Nesmith $22 million a year and he's over here shooting a 35% from the field but you expect fair valuation on Mathurin to be $10 million? Nesmith's been exposed as fully dependent on Haliburton to have any offensive value.
Post · [Fischer] An incomplete deal framework that could still make it to the finish line: There have been whispers about various trade constructions that would feature Missi landing with Indiana and swingman Bennedict Mathurin heading to New Orleans.▲ 4Jan 23, 2026Source ↗
Exhibit 03Negative.DEN flair
Jesus, Nesmith can’t buy a bucket if it was on sale, this is the worst performance I’ve seen from him all season.
