http://www.slamonline.com/media/slam-tv/nba-pre-draft-tour-larry-nance-jr-workout-video/#DrmSIhoCIUpwU3oY.97"I've heard from the Spurs themselves that they love him." Amico told the Casper Star-Tribune (
http://bit.ly/1HgzjxI). "The fact that they love him and the word's out about that has probably made a lot more teams interested just because everybody wants to be like the Spurs."
Nance averaged 16.1 points and 7.2 rebounds per game as a senior, leading the Cowboys to their first NCAA Tournament appearance since 2002. He shot 51.4 percent from the field and 78.6 percent from the free-throw line, while also posting 2.5 assists, 1.2 blocks and 1.2 steals per contest.
..
At the Combine and during individual team workouts, Nance has impressed because he has played to his strengths, Goodman said. He hasn't tried to specifically prove doubters that he can shoot from the perimeter or that he has a defined position.
Instead, he simply supplied effort, energy and rebounding — the things that made him a two-time All-Mountain West selection at Wyoming.
"The one thing about him is he'll accept his role, he'll do all the dirty work," Goodman said. "There aren't a lot of guys like that. I think he's just got to figure out a way to get to the right situation.
"... I think he's a guy that, given the opportunity, is going to make a team and play in the league for a long time. So much of it is based on your opportunity and your situation."

I approve for what little I know. High IQ, good athlete, good defender. Everyone after pick 20 is a roll of the dice so I'm not going to worry about him vs some other player whose 95% a bust so I'm rooting for success.

Looney was red flagged, but rather have gotten that then this guy, too much of a project even for that late, big chance this busts and he is out of the league once his rookie contract finishes

So was Harrell, who I thought was good enough to be taken within the top 20.

This only makes sense if the Lakers feel like he can play alongside Randle as a defensive SF ... otherwise he's another wasted late first/second round/role player pick.

Kids say dumb stuff, Clarkson had a negative tweet about Kobe also.
