Nance is currently averaging 18.3 points, 6.8 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 1.0 steals and 2.0 blocks per contest while shooting 47.7% from the field and 32.0% from the three-point range in eight G League games.

The 76ers had 3x Guard/Wing’s on their 2-way contracts prior to this +Pete Nance signing.

It’ll align that contract-spacing more appropriately no matter who is waived or elevated based on the idea of 1x Talent spanning each main position-group. 1x G/W, 1x W/F, 1x F/C/Big.

Nance has played eight games in the NBA for the Cleveland Cavaliers.

He played his college basketball for UNC and Northwestern.

His older brother (Larry Nance Jr.) is in his ninth NBA season.

In addition to the Hawks, (Larry) Nance Jr. has also spent time with the Los Angeles Lakers, Portland Trail Blazers, New Orleans Pelicans and Cleveland Cavaliers.
