Personal Bio/PreCareer Summary

Ryan Nembhard spent four years in college and was a regular starter each season despite switching programs midway through his NCAA journey. Nembhard, the 68th-ranked player in the 2021 class, spent the first two years of his college career with Creighton, averaging 11.3 and 12.1 points per game as a freshman and sophomore, respectively. He entered the transfer portal before the 2023-24 campaign and linked up with Gonzaga, where he also started in every game over two years. He thrived as a scorer during his junior year, averaging a career-high 12.6 points per game to go along with 4.0 rebounds and 6.9 assists per contest. However, he turned heads with his play as a senior in 2024-25 while being a key member of the Bulldogs. Nembhard closed out his college career with averages of 10.5 points, 9.8 assists, 3.0 rebounds and 1.7 steals across 35.1 minutes per game in his 35 appearances with Gonzaga as a senior. After establishing himself as one of the best passers in the nation during his final college year, Nembhard decided to declare for the 2025 NBA Draft. His older brother, Andrew Nembhard, currently plays for the Indiana Pacers. Nembhard is an old-school floor general. He thrives orchestrating the offense's tempo and is outstanding in the pick-and-roll game, both as a facilitator and scorer. However, his lack of size could limit his upside. Still, Nembhard logged an incredible 9.8 assists per game to only 2.5 turnovers and is a great decision-maker who manages the game at a high level. His scoring ability will determine whether he's able to have a long career in the NBA or not, especially since his defense isn't elite. Nembhard was one of the best passers in the college ranks in the 2024-25 season, and he should have the maturity to carve out a role at the highest level. He's drawn comparisons to his older brother, Andrew Nembhard, although he has also been compared to other backup point guards in the NBA such as Tyus Jones and T.J. McConnell.

Another quiet outing
GDallas Mavericks
January 20, 2026
Nembhard recorded four points (2-7 FG, 0-1 3Pt), three rebounds, five assists and one steal over 21 minutes during Monday's 114-97 win over the Knicks.
ANALYSIS
Although Nembhard has maintained a sizable role since shifting to the bench, his fantasy appeal remains very low. Across his last eight games, he's seen 20.7 minutes per contest with 7.0 points, 5.6 assists, 2.5 rebounds and 1.0 three-pointers on 38.9 percent shooting from the field.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Draws accolades from Davis
GDallas Mavericks
December 4, 2025
Anthony Davis raved about Nembhard's emergence for the Mavericks, Grant Afseth of the Dallas Hoops Journal reports.
ANALYSIS
"He's constantly asking questions," Davis said. "There's been times where he's talking to me in the middle of a play - 'AD, roll right here.' He's taking big strides. I don't know if he's going to be a two-way too much longer. All the guys love playing with him. He makes the right plays." The Mavericks are likely to upgrade Nembhard to a standard contract in the near future as the guard continues to turn heads. Over his last four regular-season starts, Nembhard has averaged 17.0 points, 7.5 assists and just 1.3 turnovers in 28.3 minutes per game.
