Nance Jr, impresses me as a great 6'7" (without shoes) athlete with a center's skill set. His career 54.7% field goal percentage is excellent. His career 22.4% 3pt % is not so hot.
I thought his jumper looked pretty good at times last year. I think he could easily step out slightly further, especially in the corners, and become a respectable 3 pt shooter. That'd be a surefire way for him to guarantee a spot making good money in the league for a long time. He's a really really good defensive player and if he can work on not fouling as much and start shooting threes at a reasonable clip, he instantly becomes a starter that a lot of contending teams would love to have. He def. still has some real room to grow and get better and should have a bigger role to showcase himself in now. I really really think he was a great get in that trade, and it didn't even matter that we took Clarkson because they didn't even need a 2nd max slot open to attract LBJ.
Don't even think it has to be 3s. A respectable 18' jumper would make him scary combined with his quickness for his size.Book LNJR in for a few more 3s this upcoming season. His jumper is underrated and pretty silk, actually. We know he's been working on the deep ball this off season and I feel like once he unlocks that part of his game - a crucial attribute for most successful big men in today's NBA - he's going to transcend into something pretty special.

Larry is a solid rotational player.
He just isn't a guy that would win his overall matchup over a 7 games series as a starter,
Ante has much more potential as a starting big man.
There is no real difference between PF and Center in the modern NBA.And that's why he has to play as a PF.

You're talking about size differences not functional differences between the way PF and C operate on the court.Okay. lol
If Zizic is matched against a Center and Nance is matched against a PF, it makes all the difference in the world for both of them. Nance can dominate on the boards and all of a sudden he is the stronger player in that matchup.
Optimally, I want both of them to play together in time. Not to mention that having two good screen setters at the 4/5 is a difference maker for an offense if coached right.
