I don't think any other player this year has integrated into a new team after a signing/trade as well as Nance. His efficiency is, thus far, downright magnificent.

In 9 games and 208 minutes, he's turned the ball a grand total of TWICE.

He has an Offensive Rating of 140 and a Defensive Rating of 104. Both are the highest on the Cavs by a very wide margin.

He's shooting above 60% FG(64% TS).

The Cavs are +14.3 when Nance Jr. Plays. Compare that to TT, who is a -4.4 for the Cavs. For +/- Per 100 Possessions, that gives them a 21.5 difference in on/off rating between them.

A PER of 25.5.

Guy is the perfect piece for Cleveland. Young, motivated, loyal to the city, strong inside presence who doesn't need the ball in his hands but can make plays when he needs to... pretty much what they hoped Tristan Thompson would be when they paid him.

I mean the boy is actually from Akron. If that isn't storybook, I don't know what is.
