Cleveland Cavaliers forward Larry Nance Jr. is coming off of the best statistical season in his career in which he averaged career-highs across the board. Nance has worked hard on improving on his weaknesses this offseason and will take another jump forward as he did last year.
Per Basketball-Reference, Nance had per-game averages of 9.4 points, 8.2 rebounds, and 3.2 assists last season.
It may not be realistic to ask Nance to make as big of a jump as last year’s NBA Most Improved Player, Pascal Siakam, but the Cavs should expect improvement across the board again, especially if he is going to be the starting power forward.
