Larry Nance Jr. Joins the Show
Nobody expected to hear his name last summer when the Lakers took the second of their two first round picks. Nonetheless, Larry Nance Jr. quickly became a bright spot in a dark season. Throughout the year, Nance showed energy, athleticism, and effort, awareness on defense, and a periodically strong offensive game. Now, when people talk about the team's young core, Nance's name is always part of the conversation.
He's also a smart, funny guy, and an excellent interview ... as you can learn now!
Nance joined the show this week, covering a wide range (and we do mean a wide range) of topics, including ...
- ... what he learned as a rookie, on and off the floor.
- ... his thoughts on Luke Walton, and what the new coach brings.
- ... why there is pressure on the young core to develop successfully.
- ... developing a 3-point shot, and what he wants to do with it.
- ... tense moments* in contract negotiations before his rookie season.
- ... his love of video games, E3, and the lessons of Roy Hibbert.
- ... the shape and location of a Larry Nance Jr. statue. That's right, he plays the Statue Game with us!
All great stuff. Enjoy.
