Healthy Larry can play the 4 just fine, plus you have the ability to give more/less minutes situationally.

just b/c he can doesn't mean he should.



Last year JV and Nance shared the court for 78 minutes.
We had an ORtg of 89.3, and a Drtg of 101.3, NetRtg of -12.

They've shared the court for 11 minutes this year, which really isn't enough to say anything, but the ORtg was 31.8, DRtg was 136.4.

We just played the only team in the NBA you would think you would need two bigs to defend in Minny, and JV and Larry didn't play together at all. Do It Big is dumb.


Larry Nance Jr is not a 4, and neither is Claxton.
We have an all nba talent at the 4 in Zion, and Trey should have all of the back up 4 minutes, on top of playing the 3 as well. The only reason to ever have Trey not get all of those minutes at the 4 is if he plays all his minutes at the 3 and we find a backup 4 who can shoot, like Grant Williams or Naz Reid or more attainable Dario Saric

It would be beyond dumb to have a lineup with 2 of JV/Larry/Claxton on the court, b/c none of them can shoot.


I"m not saying i wouldn't want Claxton, but you bring him in one of JV or Larry should go, and i just don't see the point in that right now.
I'd rather keep both of them, even going into next year (although we'll see what happens in teh playoffs) and draft a young big.
