Midseason Report Card: Grading the Pacers Guards

We’re kicking off a three-part midseason report card series with a deep dive into the Pacers guard rotation. In Part 1, Brad and Ryan hand out letter grades and classroom-style comps for every guard on the roster — including Andrew Nembhard, Bennedict Mathurin, T.J. McConnell, Kam Jones, and the two-way contributors. We evaluate roles, consistency, growth, and fit within the team’s identity at the halfway point of the season. Who’s exceeded expectations? Who’s still finding their footing? And which guards are shaping the future of this roster? Honest grades, clear reasoning, and a snapshot of where the backcourt stands heading into the second half. Next up: Wings & Forwards… then Centers. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for advertising.
