EuroBasket standout provides painfully obvious solution to Cavaliers' depth

Larry Nance, Jr. returned to the Cleveland Cavaliers this summer to fill out a shallow frontcourt depth chart, but the Cavaliers could still use more help.

Cleveland has two towering talents in the starting lineup with reigning Defensive Player of the Year Evan Mobley and Jarrett Allen dominating the paint. Mobley has emerged as the key to the Cavs' future, joining Donovan Mitchell on the All-NBA cast and earning his first All-Star appearance last season. Allen is a steady presence in Cleveland as a recent All-Star and team-first leader.

Still, every year since combining the two, the Cavs' utter lack of true big man depth behind them has been a major Achilles heel.
