Larry Nance Jr. Will Be A Great Fit For Blazers

Portland Trail Blazers’ new forward Larry Nance Jr. was highlighted by Bryan Kalbroski of HoopsHype as this off-season’s most underrated signing. Blazers’ coach Chauncey Billups has made it known that increased ball movement is a focus for his system next season. Kalbroski highlighted Nance’s playmaking as a big reason for the great fit within the Blazers’ offense.

Under former head coach Terry Stotts, the Trail Blazers ranked last overall in total passes per game both last season and the season prior. They finished with the worst overall mark in assist percentage in 2020-21 and in the year before as well.
