Scouting Report. Florida Gators. Andrew Nembhard. G. player. 526. Pick Analysis. Guard

While he was invited to the NBA Combine last year, guard Andrew Nembhard made the decision to return to Florida basketball for his sophomore season.

While there is the outside chance that he may be invited back and want to take a chance on the NBA now, it seems highly unlikely that would be a beneficial move.

The Ontario, Canada native started all 31 games for the Gators in 2019-20 and actually had a pretty decent season. He averaged 11.2 points per game — third on the team — but what stood out was his ability to share the basketball.

Nembhard averaged 5.6 assists per game — second in the Southeastern Conference. He was 18th in the conference in steals, averaging 1.1 per game.

Another thing that Nembhard brings to the table is leadership. He has a lot of floor experience and that should continue to transcend to next season.
