He got rid of his wobbly legs and his awkward play, and is not a total beast.
Haldorson, might progress like Nance in a couple seasons.
Larry Nance averaged 11/7 as a true sophomore playing 32 mpg and frankly was even better than that when healthy. Haldorson is a true sophomore this year.
I think someone like Ryan Dermody is probably a better comparison although I think Haldorson has more upside.
Nance was better than folks remember as a freshman. Obviously inconsistent as many true freshman, but was our 6th man and tied for 2nd on the team in rebounding while playing 18 minutes a game on a decent team. This year's Larry Nance is Trey Washington. Different position of course, but in terms of a young guy that will be on the court leading this team 2 years from now, I think he fits the bill.
