Cleveland Cavaliers: 3 goals for Larry Nance Jr. in 2018-19
1. Make a case for Most Improved Player award
As mentioned before, Nance will definitely see an increase in the amount of time he spends on the floor. Usually, increasing a player’s minutes results in a boost in his stats.
For the amount of time Nance spent on the court, his numbers were actually very impressive. Averaging 8.9 points, 7.0 rebounds and 1.2 steals in just 20.8 minutes per game, there is no limit to what Nance could accomplish if given the chance.
Realistically speaking, we could see Nance average something in the range of 15 points and 10 rebounds per game. He has already shown what he is capable of and his genes and basketball pedigree speak for themselves.
Perhaps with him competing for an award with players from all over the league, some lifelong fans of the Cleveland Cavaliers could finally relive some of their favorite moments, all thanks to his father, Larry Nance who is nothing if not a fan favorite.
