They have multiple open roster spots. This team isn't going to look the same when playoffs are here.

Nicholas Claxton will be an interesting player to watch when he gets healthy too.

Lots of talent there if he can put it together.

When they drafted him i didn't understand it as he seem very similar to Allen. Now with Allen gone, if he can be close to Allen then that'll help a lot

I really don’t know much about him, but I heard he has more of a perimeter modern big skill set.

Could be a good compliment to DJ if he can play 20 minutes or so.

reading his scouting report now from when he was drafted. Can possibly be better than Allen if he gets healthy

Defensive Outlook

Defense will drive his value. Scouts are drawn to his potential to be a switch defender who can guard in space and make plays on the ball.

mention that Nance is top 10 in defensive win shares----- and leads the league in steals.

Top 10 Defensive win shares:

1. Andre Drummond
2. Rudy Gobert
3. Anthony Davis
4. Julius Randle
5. Clint Capela
6. LeBron James
7. Larry Nance Jr.
8. Mitchell Robinson
9. Luka Doncic
10. Joel Embiid
11. Myles Turner
12. Ben Simmons
13. Giannis
14. Og Anunoby

just looking at that list - it makes you think that- there is something to this stat. by no means a perfect stat---- but a lot of very good defensive players on this list- and not by mistake.



In retrospect---- the Cavs basically got Sexton and Nance for Irving.

Yeah but you could say they got a lot mire than that if you follow the string of trades. Allen came from the assets too but either way the Cavs seem to win it as far as right now

close to allen?

the guy was playing 26 minutes a night and right about top 10 in blocks and rebounds, and allen can guard the rim and shoot a jumper. There are guys on NBA teams that arent going to give you close to that.
