    lets put it this way. Lance has a way better chance of becoming a good/great defender than RJ Hunter ever will

    Yeah I feel like we've got RJ Hunter in Wayne Ellington and I think Jabari Parker is even better.

    Nance has a chance to be a really good wing defender. That's always a rare commodity.

    I liked RJ for his shooting not defense. He had an off year percentage wise, but I still would have been ok with us grabbing him there.

    That said, I am good with Nance at this point.

    Same here. Now, can you do me a favor? DX just released a video Nance, Jr? I can't upload because I have Internet Explorer. As you can probably guess, the video doesn't load for me on Explorer...

    Well the point is we've got shooters in Brown and Ellington already in house. We don't have wing defenders though.

    Yeah. I agree with that. I'm sure that's why we went with him over the other guys on the board.

    There is a lot to like about Nance. Quietly optimistic that we got a steal with him.

    Watching that DX video on Nance.. He really has a good feel for where to be & when to help on Defense.. Nice find.

    I think he's a steal.

    Btw, how did the son of an NBA player never get rid of that chicken wing on his shot?

    WTF.....

    Mitch had said he's talked with his father and his college coach and could tell he had a solid foundation and family is very important.

    I'm sure he's joking about why Jr. has a weird shot.

    His athleticism is impressive. Remember: he suffered an ACL injury last year. That's daddy's gift.

    A torn ACL and a chicken shot. He is a chicken sh*t father. That should have been in his scouting report!

    Edit; chicken wing shot. :)
