With TT out fully expect Nance to get the start which will make a lot of fans happy, & he will definitely be an improvement to TT's play this season coming off injury and just not looking interested etc. I think it will obviously also hurt the 2nd unit a lot though unless Zizic takes full advantage of the ops and gives Lue the confidence to leave him in there without having to play Nance 37 minutes.
Too late to add any bigs that would be playoff eligible, so this injury bug could come back to bite Altman for not adding an insurance big if Zizic can't execute.

I think Zizic is much more up to speed by playing the same system in Canton than he was any other time we saw small samples early in the season. Don't want to be too optimistic just yet,but the skillset coming into the league was solid for a future starter let alone a backup
