The Wood Shop: I’m Looking At You Larry

I’ll gladly admit I didn’t watch Larry Nance Jr. during his tenure with the Lakers, aside from whatever highlights landed on Twitter. Now, that I’ve watched him for just three games with the Cavs, I’m pretty impressed. Initially, I thought he was going to be more of a defensive guy for the Cavs.

Don’t get me wrong, he is in some ways, but it’s really only because I had to watch terrible defenders who give zero effort for so much of the season. He does what Tristan Thompson used to do defensively: he can switch onto a point guard and not get smoked, and he’ll stop guys from getting deep into the paint on pick and rolls.
