In a continuation of our series breaking down the season that was for every rotation player on the roster, Tony and I turned our attention to the forward position, which includes wing-sized wings, as well as those who were shoehorned into sopping up minutes at the four-spot. As always, to make it easier to follow along, here's the stats, lines, and clips for each player -- albeit with limited context to avoid spoilers.
Oshae Brissett
One Play: ferocity and unfinished finishing
One Number: 39.0 -- conversion rate on 1.2 drives per game
One Over/Under: 0.5 -- number of games played for the Pacers next season
Kendall Brown
One Play: switching onto guards and bigs with quick hands
One Number: 4.7 -- steal percentage in NBA
One Over/Under: 5 -- 5 3PA per 36 minutes
Aaron Nesmith
One Play: Handling and ball security
One Number:
50.5 -- conversion rate on all shots inside 14 feet
18th in NBA/97.7 percentile in Bball Index Matchup difficulty
One Over/Under: 1 dribble per touch
Jordan Nwora
One Play: Possessions hunted -- both on and away from the ball
One Number: 12.8 -- percentage of possessions as the pick-and-roll ball-handler
One Over/Under: 3.5 -- number of wings ahead of him in the rotation next season

Just want to say I have been loving these pods. It's such a good format and you and Tony are smashing them. Can't wait to listen to the Myles one.
