Nope. This guy plays the 'Rambis' , 'AC Green' , 'Madsen' type of team guy willing to do the dirty work. He's the type of guy that will never be a star, but will stick around the league a long time because of all the hustle and little stuff he's very willing to do. The Spurs were hungry for him.

Sports media has gotten quite tabloid-y and quite messy. So this WILL be news.

Like the pick. Understand the pick.
Can jump out of the building and guard at least the 3 and 4 and has a workable 3 pointer.
Sure.. needs a lot of work.. but I get it.
And the 34 pick? Brown? I like the draft. Need to get a big in FA and there are tons of them out there. |

Have you seen him play more than three minutes? And you're calling him a loser? And you're unaware that first rounders get guaranteed contracts? Sigh. I'll go ahead and trust Mitch. |

Maybe Kobe has thick enough skin than to let what a 19-20 Nance once said? Maybe nance will prove on the court that he's worthy?

Not a fan of Looney. I did want Montrezl or Rakeem.

So what was the deal with that? Why did he say that?
And I agree with the other guys. This guy is going to get into the doghouse pretty quick, assuming we even keep that guy.

Larry will be a role player off the bench, but I think he has a chance of sticking and that people will really like him. No one knew about this guy unless you are a fan of the Mountain West Conference. With him playing at Wyoming, he got little attention or exposure from the media. People are catching up to him late which is why he is climbing up draft boards so late.
I think he is a late bloomer. He was not highly regarded coming out of high school. He still has a lot of potential and room to grow.
I think he is a bit of a tweener. I do not see him being able to play the 3. He does many things okay...nothing great but nothing bad. He is good on defense. Not an intimidating rim protector, but can get some blocked shots. He can rebound.
He has an outside shot and could shoot the college 3. But I don't think he had a lot of confidence in his outside shot. He can take people off the dribble. He is a good free throw shooter. Doesn't have many post moves. Can run the break. He emulates his dad a bit who won the NBA's first slam dunk contest. With his athleticism, Nance has had some great dunks.
He is smart and a good kid. I don't know anything about his Kobe tweet, but it is what it is. There were a lot of people who felt that way. I cannot wait to see him in the purple and gold. |

I wouldn't hold it against Kobe for not thinking well of people who insult him with a slur.
That doesn't make him thin-skinned. It makes him human.

Great athlete. Can guard multiple positions.
Teach him to shoot the 3 and you have a gem on your hands. |

This guy is from Akron Ohio. Probably grew up being a big Lebron fan.

So Kobe is going to try to ruin this kid for something he said when he was 19-20? How much stupid (bleep) have you said when you were that age, that just didn't happen to be published via social media? Kobe and nance will get over it if nance plays well.

I was intrigued by him until I saw that tweet. I'd like to see how the FO is going to spin this one when he meets Kobe...  |

Yeah. Looking at his videos and seems like a decent versatile defender.

| Mature with tweets like that? He didn't even have the presence of mind to delete them earlier. Should be interesting. |

Larry Nance Jr. was a team-ball illuminati poster on this site.
He said what some of these clowns were thinking, but wouldn't dare say on LG.

That's what I heard from Byron Scott, say he's real athletic, can guard the 3 and 4.
