I'm sure Mathurin is going to get this.

He's a bonafide 6th man type.

So I'd probably put Turner as the top of this group rather than with Hali/Siakam, but of the options listed I'd go with Nesmith over Nembhard.

It's difficult to make up that level of minutes gaps, though the TJ/Mathurin/Toppin bench is quite good.

I’d imagine they are all pretty close

Never heard Hali/Pascal/Myles called a Big 3 before. Honestly, when I read the thread, Myles was who came to mind before I thought about "Big 3" in the context of the Pacers and realized he probably part of the Big. I love Myles, but I'd echo what others have said about it really feeling more like a Big 2.

Anyway, since Myles wasn't an option, I said Nembhard. His work on both sides of the ball is really impressive.
