Larry Nance Jr

He was on the KFBC Sports Zone here in Cheyenne yesterday and man I love the direction, focus and want to succeed this kid has. He's such a good kid on all aspects and if he takes over the true leadership of the team and get them all to play as a team and steps his game up even more, I can see us playing well and being a factor in the MWC this year!!!
Keep it up and let's have a good year POKES...

He is a great ambassador for UW athletics, does all the right things, says the right things, and is a heck of a ball player. So glad he came to UW. Him and Brett have been great representatives of UW during their time here.

He and his dad are both very classy people and having them both here (his dad comes to most of his games) is a positive for UW. This season should be real interesting for him. I'm thinking he is going to get his hands on the ball much more this season.

I think he is a legit MWC POY threat this season.
He is just too good, and has grown so much as a player.
Now without other people on the team that wanted the spot light, Nance will be getting the ball more than he knows what to do with it. All the guards on the team will be giving him the ball constantly.
I really wouldn't be surprised to see Nance drop 30 points in a game a couple times this year, and see him "quietly" put up 20 a game average
20 a game might be a little too much, but if he constantly getting the ball down low, and make a lay-up or jump shot a few times throughout each half, his points will quickly add up. Then you throw in the "big plays", his monster dunks, and the crucial possessions where he will be one of the first players the rest of the team go to, he can get up to 20 by the end of the game.
Plus, with all the shots he will have down low, he will get fouled a lot. And he is a very good FT shooter.
Watch the points add up quickly for Nance this season.

I would like to see a stat for how many times Gilmore passed the ball to Larry Nance as compared to other players on the team last year.

You mean how many times Gilmore passed the ball to anyone versus wasting the shot clock for 30 seconds then air-balling a shot from Jimmer range?
