Nesmith still has a hot touch on the offensive end, and he still maintains an excellent outside shooting feel and hits a large number of three-pointers. Nesmith continued his strong performance on the defensive end, and he is still a very excellent defender. Nesmith has played great value on both offense and defense. He has also proved that he is a very excellent 3D type wing player, and his on-field performance also provides great support for the team's victory.

In the NBA regular season this season, Nesmith played a total of 45 games due to injury, averaging 24.9 minutes per game, averaging 12 points, 4 rebounds, 1.2 assists, 0.8 steals and 0.4 blocks, and 0.8 turnovers and 2.5 fouls.
