Larry Nance is a great acquisition for the Blazers. One of the most underrated players in the NBA. Versatile defender. Good passer. Reliable spot-up shooter. Lob threat. He can screen for Dame and be an outlet when he gets trapped. Nance brings the skills Portland badly needs. https://t.co/QPdbK660g6

Putting Markannen beside Allen or Mob makes sense. He’s not a consistent threat yet…
LNJ certainly helps a woebegone Blazer D but I’m not sure he moves the needle enough to elevate them past where they’re at now which feels low-seeding/play-in.
I agree. Also, the only way Nance Jr. can get his stock to soar is if he could get a chance to come back to the Lakers. I like his talent.
I think they’re in the mix for seed #6. I think it makes them better but nothing to overthink
Norm Powell Larry Nance Robert Covington make them an average NBA defense not historically bad
