Pete has spent part of two seasons in the NBA with the Cleveland Cavaliers and Philadelphia 76ers.

Over seven games, the former UNC star has averages of 2.1 points and 1.4 rebounds per contest while shooting 33.3% from the field and 33.3% from the three-point range.

Via X User @sig_50: "Ok, didn’t anticipate this move but I do like Pete Nance.

He’s a Stretch-Big that can put the basketball on the deck and attack the slashing as well.

He’s been morphed into a volume-shooter: 36% 3PT, 6 3PA’s (NBAGL)
