    Great DE interview up there. Said he wants to be Kawhi Leonard. They must feel he'll be able to defend SFs and PFs.

    Athletic, defensive guy? HECK YEAH.

    Nance is going to be a wing defender.

    Yeah I think Nance ends up being the defensive SF we want. The kid interviews really well.

    Like everyone else, I've never heard of him, but I gotta admit I was impressed by that highlight reel they showed on ESPN when he got drafted. Doesn't look like he'll ever be a star or even a starter, but he looks like he can be a very solid roleplayer playing 20 mpg behind Randle.

    Just read that Nance has Chron's Disease. If so, big ups to him for battling through it.

    once again, i trust the FO. considering the number of guys they worked out, they must have really liked him and thought there was a chance he would be gone before #34. and maybe they are targeting Upshaw but didn't want the guaranteed contract. at #27 you go for a role player and we NEED defensive players so i'm ok with it.

    3 and D player? Though he is working on the 3 part still. Smart kid. Motivated with a high motor. They should have traded down though. Anyway, he seems like a very versatile player - so fills a need there.
