Scout Report

When you're the 14th-ranked player in your class and still flying under the radar compared to some teammates, that says something about the talent around you at Overtime Elite.

Background

Nesmith made the move from Atlanta to the OTE program, joining one of the most loaded rosters in prep basketball. He's part of a core that includes fellow top-60 prospects Blaze Johnson, Jeremy Jenkins, and Tyler Sutton. The level of competition in practice alone is preparing him for what's coming at the next level.

Playing Style

At 6-5, Nesmith has the size and versatility that college coaches covet in today's game. He can handle the ball well enough to initiate offense but also has the length to defend multiple positions on the perimeter. His shot selection has improved throughout his time at OTE, and he's become more aggressive attacking the rim in transition. The biggest area for growth is consistency from three-point range. When that shot starts falling regularly, he'll jump into elite territory.

Recruitment

Twelve D1 offers tell the story here, with heavy-hitters like Kansas, Auburn, and Florida State all in the mix. Tennessee jumped in recently, adding to an already impressive list. Don't expect a quick decision from the 2027 prospect, but his stock keeps climbing as coaches get more looks at him against elite competition.
