Aaron Nesmith takes his marks in Boston

Chosen in 14th position in the last Draft by the Celtics, the former Vanderbilt player knew he would have to be patient before he could show what he was capable of in Brad Stevens’ workforce.

“It’s a process”, so recalled the rookie facing questions from journalists. “Sure it’s been tough at times, but I’m just trying to speed up my learning curve and make sure I’m always on top, that I take every opportunity. So even in games where I don’t or don’t play as much, I make sure I’m mentally involved in the things that we do as a team, to make sure that when I come in it’s like I was not apart ”.

Aaron Nesmith knows there is still a long way to go and is doing everything he can to improve his palette ” in general “ while waiting for the game to run “Slow down” for him, according to the expression used to evoke the adaptation of a player to the NBA rhythm. Which is starting to happen according to his coach, Brad Stevens, who also expects his rookie to continue his efforts in defense, one of Aaron Nesmith’s announced strengths.

“He’s done a really good job all along from the start. He goes into his opponents. He’s tough, he’s physical. It goes to the end of the systems. He even managed to deflect a ball in transition. I just think he has the possibility of being a good defender and he worked hard to integrate that ”.

In attack as in defense, he will still need time and pace to continue to find his marks.
