Named WCC Sixth Man of the Year Nembhard was named the West Coast Conference Sixth Man of the Year on Tuesday.
Impact After gaining instant eligibility following his transfer from Florida, Nembhard made an immediate impact for the undefeated Bulldogs, averaging 9.0 points, 4.4 assists and 2.4 rebounds. He gives Gonzaga another ball-handling option after standout freshman Jalen Suggs, and his experience will be an X-factor with the NCAA Tournament on the horizon.

Makes four threes off bench Nembhard posted 12 points (4-9 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 0-0 FT), three rebounds and two assists in 29 minutes during Thursday's 86-69 win over BYU.
Impact Nembhard posted both season and team-highs with four three-pointers in the rout. He continues to play a key role for Gonzaga as the team's sixth man and a veteran off the bench, who is reliable in the passing game and rarely turns the ball over. Nembhard is connecting on a solid 47 percent of his field-goal attempts thus far.

X-factor for Bulldogs Nembhard had 19 points (8-14 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six assists and five rebounds across 35 minutes off the bench in Wednesday's 87-82 victory over West Virginia.
Impact Nembhard has seemingly conceded starting duties to star freshman Jalen Suggs, but the Florida transfer is still averaging 30.3 mpg off the bench through three games. His ball-handling ability was especially needed in this contest after Suggs went down with what appeared to be a serious lower-leg injury. Nembhard took over the offense, and even after Suggs returned, the duo shared the court to great success with a guard-heavy lineup. If Suggs ends up limited in any way by this injury, Nembhard would benefit, but it seems as if his role is relatively secure even with Suggs in the lineup.

NOVEMBER 25, 2020 • YOUTUBE
Waiver approved Nembhard received a waiver from the NCAA on Tuesday for immediate eligibility, Jim Meehan of The Spokane Spokesman-Review reports.
Impact It came down to the wire, but Nembhard was finally able to get his eligibility waiver. The 6-5 guard declared for the NBA Draft in the offseason before then deciding to transfer and join a stacked team in Spokane. Nembhard was a two year starter for Florida where he averaged 11.2 points, 5.6 assists, and 3.0 rebounds last season. He should assume a sizable role in the rotation starting Thursday against Kansas.
