Remember when we (I included) used to wank silly over the gibson/pavlovic/LeBron/varejao/hickson super lineup of the future? Or how we had pro-Dion Waiters fan clubs?
Time to stop hyping these averagely talented players because they're young. If nothing stands out in their skillset at a young age they have nothing to build on and there's a good chance nothing ever will. Don't want to go through another awful rebuild.
Nance is a good piece to have but I can't even project him as reaching the levels of a 2016 TT.
During the interview Nance suggested that he might hoist around 50 3 pt shots next season. What a weapon that could become for Larry as his role increases. If that were to happen he and Zizic could definitely play big minutes together.
I agree, on defense I think he can play the 4/5, he can switch and seems to have the IQ to play bigger Cs. The issue for him is on offense unless he can develop a shot. He has great hands and can run the break, but right now he is at a level you have to have someone who can shoot opposite him for it to work. I don’t think he can play with any other bigs on this team outside of Love. We need to add back a Frye or a wing who can play the 4 and shoot.
The guys left in free agency that would compliment Nance and fit into our PF shot is real thin from lists of available players that I've looked at. Frye might be the best bet because we know he is a good character guy and will help the younger guys develop. If you want to try to get a guy with upside, it might have to be Noah Vonleh. If he can improve his 3 point shot, he would be a real nice pairing with Nance. I said last night we might have to invite a guy like Alex Poythress to training camp.
question is if Frye rather go to a contender. But I think he would be a nice addition
Just when he was with the Cavs, LNJ shot about 20% of his attempts from 10 to 23 feet and converted on over 50% of them. Actually over the course of his career from 16-23 feet he's shot .420.

Athletes vs. Crohn's was founded in January of 2017 by Larry Nance Jr. and Noah Weber. The mission of AVC is to raise awareness of Crohn’s and colitis in the adolescent population and help children realize their athletic potential despite being diagnosed with a chronic illness.
Both Larry and Noah were diagnosed with Crohn's disease during their adolescent years, and sought out athletes who reached their personal and athletic potential. Together they hope to connect young people afflicted with Crohn's and colitis to athletes to inspire and mentor.
