Indiana Pacers veteran TJ McConnell called Aaron Nesmith the teamâs Swiss Army Knife after Fridayâs 116-103 Eastern Conference Semifinal Game 6 home win vs. the New York Knicks (8 points/6 rebounds/4 assists/4-8 FG).
*Series tied 3-3*
(via Indiana Pacers):
Reporter: âAaron obviously had the assignment on [Jalen] Brunson to start the game, but I think he has 3 offensive rebounds, one of them is a tip-out three to keep it alive at the start of the third quarter. Just what does he mean for you guys in those smaller, 50/50 kind of moments?â
McConnell: âNot only in that area, but for everything that he does, Aaron is our Swiss Army Knife. He does everything. Defensively, he was guarding Joel Embiid one time this year. Heâs guarded 1-5 for us all year and does what we need him to do on that end. And his ability to shoot the ball and get to the rim is just amazing. So you canât put a price on what he does for us, because on both ends, heâs unbelievable.â
