So far this season, Nance is averaging career-highs in points (11.1), rebounds (7.9) and minutes (23.7) per game, while also setting new marks in field goal percentage (60.4) and PER (19.52). The 24-year-old has formed great chemistry with rookie point guard Lonzo Ball and is an absolute dunking machine.
